From Grief to Grace
This book is birthed out of the greatest trial of my life. I lost my daddy, Robert Godwin Sr. in front of the entire world via Facebook Live on Resurrection Sunday April 17, 2017. From this unimaginable pain, I lost my faith in God, distanced myself from church (became a backslider), and I was very angry. Grief is a lifelong journey, and while I’m yet navigating its path, I’m directed by God to write about my pathway back to grace.
