Maresa Roach knows what it’s like to be tried in the fire. She experienced a period of adversity in which her faith was tested and there was a clear contrast between her reality and God’s promises. Her faith and conquering spirit caused her to persevere and come out as pure gold. Her desire to help others overcome led to her yes to becoming a co-author in the book, Faith For Fiery Trials Volume III.

Faith For Fiery Trials Volume III is an anthology where women collaborated to share their stories of how they conquered the giants that they faced. In Maresa’s chapter she gets candid with sharing her childhood experience being reared in a Pentecostal home. She is transparent about her unwise decisions that she made as a teenager and how those decisions caused her life to spiral out of control. From sexual assault, alcoholism, grief and loss, things became fiery.

Uncovering her purpose, understanding her identity, and becoming healed were the results of her turning her life over to God and now she is a walking billboard of how He can bring you out of the fire and you won’t smell like smoke! Maresa’s chapter is one of trust and hope and she hopes that readers will know that when they put their faith in God, they will win. Maresa’s message to all is to believe in yourself (make a decision to live), and it’s never too late. Continue on your faith journey. With self love and self forgiveness, you will triumph.
