...
my Journey of how God brought good out of my brokenness. Feelings of grief over loss can have many root causes. My prayer for you is that as you read my story, you will overcome and find peace with whatever is grieving your heart. Barbara Potts is a gifted author, teacher, and prayer leader. In this book, she has opened her heart to share her journey with genuine honesty and transparency that reveals the door of hope to anyone walking through grief or struggling with trauma. Her journey is taking her to a depth of intimacy and understanding of the love of Christ. She is finding a richness that seldom comes without the crushing of the Potter's wheel or the intensity of the goldsmith's fire. Her journey will help you embrace the fullness of this truth: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans for good and not for evil, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11 Nancy McDaniel / Global Prayer Director, Aglow International In her new book, Overcoming Grief - My Journey Back to Wholeness, Barbara blazes a trail through a maze of trauma, hurt and confusion. In spite of her devastating loss and uncertainty about the future, grief weakens as she begins to declare the Word and align with Truth. Making her way through the darkness, she discovers that her pathway of grief turns out to be Holy Ground as God ministers healing to her wounded soul. Bill Yount, speaker / author of "The Power of Real" OVERCOMING is a theme that runs through much of Barbara's writing. Her first book Praying with Authority and Power, a manual on spiritual warfare, was first published in 2004. The revised and updated version was published in 2020. Her book, The Overcomer's Handbook of Kingdom Proclamations, was published in 2018. As an intercessor and prayer leader, Barbara has served in different roles with Aglow International and Generals International. As a governmental intercessor, she has had "boots on the ground" with the Capitol Hill Prayer Partners in Washington, DC for over 28 years. Barbara's personal calling to impart truth that liberates and empowers has taken her on assignments as far away as the bush country of central Ghana. Her own ministry, Kingdom Rising Ministries, was incorporated as a non-profit organization in January 2011. Barbara, recently widowed, still lives in the house she and her husband, Jim, built in the Washington, DC area 36 years ago. Barbara stays in touch with her 3 children and 6 grandchildren via zoom and texting.
