Lost and Found

Finding Hope in the Detours of Life

By: Sarah Jakes

Narrated by: Sarah Jakes

Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins

Publisher's summary

Like every girl, Sarah Jakes dreamed of a life full of love, laughter, and happy endings. But her dreams changed dramatically when she became pregnant at age 13, a reality only compounded by the fact that her father, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was one of the most influential megachurch pastors in the nation. As a teen mom and a high-profile preacher's kid, her road was lonely. She was shunned at school, gossiped about at church. And a few years later, when a fairy-tale marriage ended in a spiral of hurt and rejection, she could have let her pain dictate her future. Instead, she found herself surrounded by a God she'd given up on, crashing headlong with Him into a destiny she'd never dreamed of.

Sarah's captivating story, unflinchingly honest and deeply vulnerable, is a vivid reminder that God can turn even the deepest pain into His perfection. More than a memoir, Lost and Found offers hope and encouragement. Perhaps you, like Sarah, find yourself wandering the detours of life. Regardless of how lost you feel, you, too, can be found.

Awesome book,

This book was well written. In so many ways it reminded me of my own struggle and it helped me to see the direction I should be going in. it's my go to book when I feel that I'm slipping backwards. when that happens I immediately start the book over from chapter one. I've listened to this book at least 5 times.

From time to time i have to remind myself that GOD has a plan for me and my life and as long as I stay focused on him all will be well.

Great book

I enjoyed the content and appreciate the author for narrating. I don't think any other author would have done the audiobook justice. Hearing it from the author made the content more powerful. She lived through it and brought the true emotion. I would recommend this to everyone.

Very relatable

No matter what your own story may be you'll be able to relate and learn.

Sarah Jakes story is inspiring and beautifully shared in this book. I honestly didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. I wish more women could find the strength to use their trials the way Sarah has...to become stronger and build a brighter and better tomorrow.

Very Inspirational Story

This is a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled with the feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Ms. Jakes paints a beautiful picture of God's grace and the humanity in redemption. Please don't miss an opportunity to read this honest, riveting memoir.

I appreciate her truth

Sarah Jakes story is the story of most young & impressionable girls. I loved this love book/audio. It has inspired me to take my power back & stand on it without regret.

Transparency

Sarah Jakes provides insight into the life of many young people striving to understand who God is and the role that he plays in our lives. She is very transparent, I would recommend this book to any person that thinks that a crystal clear life is the requirement to live a life according to Gods will. She shows how looking back, one is able to connect the dots of all of those times that people were and became found. Thank you Mrs. Sarah Jakes-Roberts!

What a beautiful story of being lost and found

As a pastor's kid myself, I could relate to so many aspects of Sarah's story. I found myself grieving with her for the losses and celebrating her triumphs. We have a heavenly father that always finds us.
Beautifully narrated by the author.

Wow!

This book has ministered to me as a mother raising children .. your mothers love Sarah has taught me soo much even though she was not happy with your choices she supported you unconditionally and that goes for your whole family..Family over everything 👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾

Exceptional Candour!

The tears were never far from my eyes, from the start to the end. Such riveting storytelling in Sarah's own voice that gives a balanced perspective of that phase of her life, gives a glimpse of Christ's love exemplified in her parental cover through those turbulent days in her life..She owned her truth, her mistakes, her missteps, in a way that only a person liberated in Christ's love could..
It is no wonder that she has been found a worthy tool in God's hands, to bring healing specifically to women whose lives are plagued by the consequences of past choices that have made life relegate them to being the Lost, the Least and the Last, because of invisible wounds.
To understand Greatness, often you need to know people's stories..
Thank you Sarah for telling yours.

Life Changing Book

I love the fact that Sarah, just told her story - the bad the good, the ugly and the beauty of God's precious grace that is available to us all. I found myself catching breathes at different intervals because so much of her story reflects my own. I was encouraged by the fact that she could own her truth and tell her story. I feel emboldened and encouraged to take the necessary steps to my own my healing and to being found. I have listened just the once, but I will listen again because you can't take it all in with just once listen. May the Lord protect you and and preserve your life and testimony.

This Book Broke Me and Put Me Together Again

I'm so Overwhelmed by the power this book has had to speak to my personal situation and relate to what I'm going through. The Powerful message of hope has left me bold and trusting of the possibilities that lay ahead. God bless Sarah for sharing her story, it has truly changed mine.

Inspiring - bouncing back from life's traumas
