SynopsisCortland grows up desperate to hide her abusive past by ignoring it. Plagued by nightmares and an angry, berating voice inside her head, Cortland becomes angry at God. Left to her own devices and with seemingly no other choice, Cortland begins to self-medicate with alcohol. Even though God stays beside her and attempts to comfort her, Cortland does not hear Him. As alcohol becomes her constant companion, Cortland soon finds herself with child. After she aborts the baby, her shame takes on a new dimension. As her life continues a downward spiral through alcohol, unhealthy relationships, and thoughts of suicide, Cortland moves through her life on a heartbreaking journey of self-preservation while avoiding her pain--and God's quiet, reassuring voice. But on a dark night when Cortland decides she has lost all hope, it is Jesus who picks her up and cradles her in His arms, beginning a slow progression toward healing that she never knew she needed until He revealed it to her. A Shadow of the Things to Come shares one woman's journey through alcoholism and suicidal thoughts to freedom, healing, and peace as she discovers hope for the first time through God's love and grace., Cortland grows up desperate to hide her abusive past by ignoring it.
