FromLostToFound_CVR-3.jpg

Are you clinging to the belief that peace and joy can only be on the far side of a dream realized or a goal achieved? Through vulnerable storytelling, wise teaching, and thought-provoking questions, marriage and family therapist, Nicole Zasowski offers a path toward finding an enduring Hope outside of circumstance.

As a marriage and family therapist, one of Nicole Zasowski’s greatest joys is helping her clients grow in emotional freedom. What she couldn’t see for many years is that she was living her own life outside of that freedom, clinging to behaviors like shame, performance, and control in order to feel valued and safe.

It was only when she was confronted with her own devastating pain and loss that Nicole realized her current way of life was failing her. She then discovered that sometimes God’s rescue looks like prying our fingers off what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need. And often, on the far side of pain we don’t prefer, we find transformation we would not trade.

In From Lost to Found, Nicole shares her story as she helps us

  • Name what we fear losing most,

  • Identify how our reactive behaviors are failing us,

  • Discover what joy we can find in letting go, and

  • Move forward in the freedom God has for us.

God is writing a story of redemption in your life too. Find out for yourself that sometimes the greatest joy is found when we are drained of all misplaced hope and shallow identities. In the midst of pain or transition, discover a surprising path to healing as you lose your grip on comfort and control—and fall right into God’s transformative grace.

Includes discussion questions for individual reflection or small group study.

“So many things make this spectacular book stand out. To begin, Nicole is a highly skilled and sought-after therapist, so the truths woven into this book spring from a deep well of professional knowledge and biblical wisdom. But, because Nicole is both a gifted story-teller and a woman who intimately knows the loss and the hope about which she writes, this book reads like you’re hearing from a long-time and loyal friend who understands where you’ve been and what you need to hear to keep growing. But best of all, Nicole wraps all of this in the Good News of the Gospel and shows us just how free we really are to be found in Christ alone.” - Jeannie Cunnion, author of Mom Set Free
