Overcoming Low Expectations

About
the Book

Overcoming low expectations was written to encourage those who feel caught in the snare of low expectations.

When people don’t believe in you and you don’t even believe in yourself, this book will inspire you to press on because greatness is possible.

“And they overcome him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony” Rev. 12:11. This book is the author’s personal testimony and sword in the battle to overcome life’s pitfalls and struggles.

Overcoming low expectation is the story of Jessica’s journey from the bondage of guilt and shame towards the freedom of love and acceptance. Pregnant at only 16 Jessica felt compelled to move out of her mother’s home only to begin her own struggles with alcohol, drugs and violence, which eventually led to an awakening that changed her life forever.
