“No matter what challenges we face, as long as we have faith and strength to turn our lives around, we can be better.” – W. Veronica Lisare.
The world is filled with people who are searching for that true love. It starts at birth—an infant long for the loving touch of a mother and father. As a person grows older, his desire for love grows.
Lisare’s The Other Side Of Fear tells of a journey through inner healing. It is a journey through the ups and downs of Veronica’s life, from having a dismal childhood, a spurned marriage, a divorce, and a cancer battle, leading to a fulfilling career both as a missionary and a nurse. Other than just a memoir, Veronica’s book is a gripping attestation to the tenacity and conviction of one person (a woman) who overcame a life of crippling fear and low self-esteem to experience the ultimate love of God and know her identity as a daughter of the King of kings.
Further, the author’s testimony and the spiritual tools she learned along her journey will encourage and inspire all her readers to move through their challenges to God’s perfect love and the other side of fear.
The Book’s Beginning
W. Veronica Lisare shared that she started keeping journals in 1990 of many things. Things she was going through, sometimes a gratitude journal, writing out people’s encouraging words to her, and when a breakthrough happens. When she was in an influential place when something she did impact someone else. When she traveled, she started keeping journals.
Veronica wanted to look back on positive things; the other thing that happened was what people kept telling her. People told her to write a book as she said bits and pieces of her story. Then came her final inspiration when her pastor-teacher asked her what legacy she would leave to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She then felt like she was hearing it all over again, and it was necessary now to put down stories.
To Forget And To Let Go
Lisare was undergoing cancer surgery and radiation when her marriage dissolved due to her husband committing adultery. Though her cancer got worse, she knew better to handle her emotions. Having already forgiven her parents, she was quick to forgive her ex-husband.
She realized that she had already endured years and years of forgiving her father for being abusive and her mother too. Veronica learned in the past how essential it is for a person to have a good life, (that) is to forgive people. It just does not take them off the hook. It just releases a person from the influences and impacts that the past still has in that person’s life, so it sets them free.
