"Restore Me! But Privately, Please" is a resource designed to aid in personal restoration. It's suggested that readers engage with the first chapter at their own pace to determine how frequently to proceed through the rest of the material, emphasizing that restoration is a gradual but permanent process. "The Journey of Restoration," addresses the common experience of silently struggling with emotional or spiritual disconnection and the need for renewal. Dr. Susan Agbenoto emphasizes that taking steps toward change, rather than ignoring problems, is crucial.

"New Wine," an award-winning book that explores life's phases through the metaphor of a grape seed's growth (buried, pressed, crushed, aged). This book also incorporates church history to connect personal experiences with a larger spiritual narrative, offering the hopeful message that God has good plans for the future.

A FREE "Restore Me! E-Workbook" is available to complement "Restore Me! But Privately, Please." It can be obtained by subscribing to the author's newsletter or using the contact form.
