N.E.W. L.I.F.E.: From Victim to Victory, With God's Help (Digital Book)

You survived. But God has more for you than survival. He wants you to experience a N.E.W. L.I.F.E.

N.E.W. L.I.F.E.: From Victim to Victory, With God’s Help is a powerful, faith-based journey of survival, healing, restoration, and hope for individuals who have experienced domestic violence and abuse.

Author and survivor Michelle Goodwine shares her personal testimony of moving from victim to survivor and ultimately to what she calls a Thriver, revealing how her relationship with God became central to rebuilding her life after abuse.

The book was written specifically to offer hope, encouragement, and guidance to victims and survivors, particularly those seeking to understand healing from a Christian perspective.

This is more than Michelle's story.

It is an invitation to examine your own journey, strengthen your faith, recognize what you have survived, and begin believing that your past does not have to determine your future.

From Testimony to Transformation

The book begins with Michelle's candid personal testimony, including her experiences with sexual assault, domestic violence, emotional abuse, financial abuse, spiritual abuse, fear, shame, and ultimately the decision to escape an abusive relationship.

But the story does not end with leaving.

N.E.W. L.I.F.E. focuses heavily on what happens after abuse, when a survivor must begin the difficult work of rebuilding identity, faith, relationships, wellness, confidence, peace, and purpose.

Michelle shares the seven lessons that she believes God used to help transform her from Victim to Survivor to Thriver. Each lesson includes her experiences, its connection to life after abuse, and practical guidance for survivors who want to apply the lesson to their own lives.

The Seven N.E.W. L.I.F.E. Lessons

The book also includes a Survivors' Prayer, Salvation Prayer, comforting Bible verses, victim-assistance resources, and an epilogue, making it both a personal testimony and a resource for continued reflection and healing.

This Book May Be Especially Meaningful for You If You Are...

A survivor of domestic violence or relationship abuse, struggling to understand life after leaving an abusive relationship, seeking a Christian perspective on healing, rebuilding your relationship with God after trauma, working to rediscover your identity and purpose, learning to make healthier relationship decisions, trying to strengthen your spiritual, emotional, physical, relational, or practical wellness, working through difficult questions about forgiveness, or looking for hope that life after abuse can become more than simply surviving.

N.E.W. L.I.F.E. carries a central message:

You are more than what happened to you.

Leaving an abusive relationship may end one chapter, but rebuilding your life begins another.

She describes her own journey as moving from victim to survivor and ultimately to living her New Life as a Thriver.

Your story is not over. Your N.E.W. L.I.F.E. can begin.
