Your book, Strength Exchanged, has been selected to receive a Christian Book Excellence Award. 🙏🏻✝️🏅
"After careful evaluation, our judging team recognized your work for its heartfelt honesty, strong biblical foundation, and encouraging message of Christ-centered transformation. It was a privilege to read your testimony of God's redeeming work, and we are delighted to recognize its meaningful contribution to Christian nonfiction!
One of our evaluators shared the following reflection:
"Strength Exchanged is a personal hope-filled testimony of God's transforming grace. Rather than presenting another weight-loss strategy or self-help program, Juanita Smith courageously points readers to the only lasting source of freedom—Jesus. With great vulnerability, she shares her own journey through emotional eating, shame, addiction, and healing, demonstrating how true transformation begins not with outward behavior but with inward surrender to Christ. Throughout the book, biblical truth is woven into every chapter, reminding readers that God's sufficient grace is greater than any stronghold! The combination of memoir, devotional reflections, practical application, and heartfelt prayers makes this an encouraging companion for women longing for spiritual and emotional freedom. Most of all, Strength Exchanged never glorifies the author's story above God's work. Every page directs readers back to the gospel and to the Great Physician who alone brings lasting healing. This is an inspiring, compassionate, and biblically grounded resource that will encourage many women to exchange their weakness for Christ's strength, no matter what struggle they face."
Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. We pray that God will continue to use your testimony and ministry to encourage women around the world and lead them toward the lasting freedom found in Jesus Christ."
All Glory to God!
