“Felecia Coleman possesses the ability to paint her life on a canvas while integrating the colors of psychology, sociology, & religion to present a portrait that is unique and captivating. This saga called LIFE needs more robust expositors who can lead people from experience to evolution and from renunciation to revaluation...Felecia has done just that.”

"Rise From The Ashes" is a must read for everyone. I would go as far to say that this should be used as a case study for psychology and neuroscience students. This is not just a novel or a self-help book. It will get in the mind of a person and cause you to think about your own life and family dynamics to cause change within you or your family. You will not be able to read this book straight through without taking notes and taking breaks to really think about areas in your own life. The author Lisa Coleman has really taken the time to narrate this manuscript with you in mind. Merriam and Webster define blueprint as "a detailed plan of how to do something". "Rise From The Ashes" is a blueprint that every individual that reads this must follow. The wisdom that Lisa offers in this book are life lessons that she walked through so that you can run through them and not be detained in your walk. I am Godly proud of Felecia and can say the Holy Spirit has breathed upon this project and favor follows it.

“One of the greatest ways we have been robbed in living life and walking in our full potential is the loss of knowing our true identity.  Many people have tried to succeed in life while yet failing in character. Not realizing what they have suppressed and hidden is really out to destroy who God created them to be. 

This book written by Lisa Coleman will challenge you and encourage you all at the same time. It's been written with such transparency and honesty. It reminds us that seeing who we are doesn't just start with our desires to know, but it places us on a journey to see if we are willing to be honest, open & obedient with ourselves and with God. When we do this, it serves as the pathway that allows our minds, perception, and our thinking to be examined and renewed by the Holy Spirit. Remember,

God never blesses who we pretend to be. He only blesses who we were created to be.

 Expect Greatness!”

“Felecia Coleman's Book, "Rise from the Ashes" is definitely a must-read. Felecia candidly shares seasons of personal vulnerability, insecurity, loneliness, and uncertainty. Felecia provides a picturesque view of how she overcame the pain of her past by drawing from her inner strength, seeking God's guidance, and executing the acquired wisdom gained to become a resilient conqueror. Felecia shares a personal roadmap of how she no longer identifies as a victim, but rather a victor.”
