Along with authoring the book, FORGIVENESS: The Mystery and Miracle, Annette  Stanwick is also a captivating speaker who challenges, inspires and ignites her audiences with courage to:

		Face issues
		Deal with difficult situations
		Trust divine guidance
		Let go of the past
		Feel the freedom and peace

As a Freedom Facilitator, she says:

		"I help people experience more freedom, feel more joy and live life more fully."
		"I help release individuals from the confinement of their fears, painful past experiences and limiting self-talk and restricting behaviors."
		"My presentations invigorate and encourage people to stretch, grow and overcome whatever might be holding them back from being the best they can be."
		"I speak to organizations wanting to encourage and empower their employees and members, helping them understand the value, strength and importance they bring to the organization."

Annette recognizes the tight grasp our wounds, fears and self-limiting behaviors have in preventing us from achieving success and experiencing the freedom, peace, love and joy we are meant to feel. Through her books, speaking and heart to heart messages of hope and inspiration as a Freedom Facilitator she encourages audiences to make the necessary choices that will bring them freedom and peace of mind.

Annette's passionate, lively and life changing messages have touched the lives of women's groups, university students, professionals, organizational leaders, church groups and prison inmates.

Her presentations are laced with enthusiasm, a wealth of knowledge and deep insights that come from raw life experiences but also from tantalizing moments of adventure, change and personal growth. She inspires others to look deeper and climb higher in their search for passion, purpose and freedom in their lives.

Her values, executive experience, personal learning, communication style and deep faith in God encourages her audiences to rise above life's obstacles, to find meaning in the midst of stress and turmoil, moving on to be the best they can be.

Annette enjoys speaking to large or small groups of any age, background or station in life and she tailors her talks to meet the needs of each audience.

FORGIVENESS: The Mystery and Miracle
Finding Freedom and Peace at Last

From a very young age Annette loved to read and loved the sound, expression and power of the written and spoken word.

For several years Annette was part of a women's writing group.  That group was a source of inspiration and encouragement that assisted her and others in communicating, processing and learning from life situations through the avenue of creative writing.  Those amazing writing experiences were shared with some phenomenal women of diverse backgrounds. 

Annette always dreamed of writing a book, and had several ideas for books she wanted to write, but never dreamed her first book would be about forgiveness.

When Annette's brother Soren was violently murdered, her journey of healing took her to a place she never thought she could go.  It took her to a place of forgiveness.

The miracle of forgiveness changed her heart and life in such a dramatic way, she developed a passion to help others find the freedom and peace that forgiveness brings.

As a result of invitations to speak about this life-altering experience, she was encouraged to write a book about forgiveness, the process of healing that led to forgiveness along with the amazing experiences she had as a result of letting go of the feelings of anger and resentment that so many carry.

The book, FORGIVENESS: The Mystery and Miracle, chronicles the journey of healing that absolutely transformed her life.  Not wanting the book to be just an amazing story, she longed for the reader to benefit individually through a personal application found in each chapter that focuses on the difficult yet life changing experiences the she relates.   The author also designed a healing process for the reader to follow in exploring their own painful or perplexing situations. 

Annette realizes that people everywhere have been hurt at some time in their lives, and that they too may have unfortunately caused hurt in others, knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or unintentionally.

The author's heartfelt desire is that those who read her book will be inspired to seek healing, freedom and peace in their own lives despite the difficult circumstances they have encountered along life's journey.

Annette loves the quotation, "Words are the voice of the heart!"  The book FORGIVENESS: The Mystery and Miracle is truly the voice of the author's heart, a heart that longs to help others find the freedom and peace that comes through the miracle of forgiveness.

FORGIVENESS: The Mystery and Miracle is profoundly touching and transforming.
This book heals hearts and lives through the power of personal choice and forgiveness.
