The truly remarkable stories are not of lives that have gone astray, but of those who have gone astray and have been incredibly redeemed, and wholly healed. That is Cynthia Wenz’s story, not of a victim, but of someone who learned the healing God offers everyone, and who chose to fully embrace that healing.

At 29, in a flurry of confusion and hurry, Cynthia followed her doctor’s urging for a third abortion. But after weeks of exhaustion, she discovered why she was feeling so odd—she was still pregnant. She had been carrying twins, and one of the babies had survived.

In Healed for Life, Cynthia shares her life story leading up to and beyond that pivotal moment: a story of family abuse and alcoholism, promiscuity, drugs, two teenage abortions, depression, eating disorders, and toxic relationships. But Cynthia learned that, as heartbreaking as a past might be, God can heal—not partially, but fully—and that everyone who has struggled with pain has a choice: to stay submerged in the hurt, or to walk in the fullness of God’s healing.
