Loved as I Am: An Invitation to Conversion, Healing, and Freedom Through Jesus

Loved as I Am Focuses on:

Brokenness

Whether you struggle with addiction, a painful past, or a lie from Satan, there is always forgiveness and opportunities for redemption; this is what Heidland shows us, using her own story, Scripture, and practical advice and reassurance.

Healing

Healing from wounds is not a one-time step, but a process. Heidland describes how love and comfort set her on the path to her wounds being healed, and ultimately leading her into freedom.

Freedom

Heidland succinctly states, "People are meant to be loved, not fixed." She explains how Jesus' perfect love does not constrain or limit us, but as he shares our experiences and pain with us, provides a level of love that brings us back to spiritual life.

“In Loved as I Am, Sr. Miriam has blessed the Church with her powerful testimony of the victory of faith, hope, and love over the doubt, despair, and lust that cast their shadow over so many souls. Her inspiring and authentic witness is proof that God wants to write his own powerful story of redemption in each of our lives.”
