The Valley of Grace Books are a collection of books on the topics of love, freedom, purpose, identity, self-worth, healing, resilience, trauma, and rebuilding your life after divorce and life’s circumstances. Every book listed here points back to one thing: helping women reclaim their power, soul, and identity so they will know they are enough.

Love and Freedom

You keep going from one toxic relationship to the next.  Unfulfilled. Disappointed.  Thirsting for more.  At this point, you are baffled.  Why do you keep attracting the same kind of men? Are there no more good men? You are willing to do the work, find the magic formula, change him, fix him, or whatever it takes for that matter.  However, the harder you work at fixing him, the more confused you become.  All of your choices so far have been narcissistic men.  Could there possibly be something that you’re missing?

In “LOVE AND FREEDOM: HOW UNDERSTANDING THEIR CONCEPTS RELEASES YOU FROM THE VENOM OF A SOUL-TIED TOXIC RELATIONSHIP AND HELPS YOU HEAL FROM  NARCISSISTIC ABUSE”, Katina Horton goes deep, helping you to go back to the garden of Eden to find the missing key to healthy relationships, and in the process, learn to love you again.

You Are Enough

Daily affirmations are all that we need. Right? We wish that were true. If that were the case, there wouldn’t be thousands of women walking around with a disconnect between what they are saying and the messages that their minds, bodies, and souls are telling them. Failure to heal after church hurt, family hurt, divorce, trauma, and emotional abuse after being in a toxic relationship, cannot be swept under the rug.

In “YOU ARE ENOUGH: Heal From Past Hurts & Reclaim Your Power And Identity”, Katina Horton keeps it real. She goes in depth, challenging and motivating you to take yourself to the next level, reclaim your birthright, and grab your keys to the kingdom. Like with anything else that is worthwhile, this requires work. And work requires process. So, put on your armor, and get ready to go to battle, and fight to reclaim what is already yours.

Digging Deep Down in Those Roots

Roots are usually kept underground, out of sight, out of mind, like the necessities of the Underground Railroad kind. Black folks have been digging deep down in those roots for years. They have been pulling up from the roots in their hair to the cotton fields, to what they now have to bring joy and resilience from the difficult struggles in life. Let Katina take you on a poetic journey of revelation as she digs deep down into her own personal roots. Black women are encouraged to reclaim their identity of blackness, embrace their uniqueness of culture, experiences, hair, and skin color, release their emotions, and celebrate their resilience as a people. In other words, dig deep down into the roots of all those things that they have felt they needed to suppress and be ashamed of for years.

The Journey

On the South Side of Chicago, Tina, a young black girl confined to the impoverished reality of the projects, seeks to find more than her circumstance has allowed. Her parents, demanding more for their futures, decide that the climb out is far greater than settling where they remain. Change has no respect to the boundaries and comforts of man. Trauma and emotional turmoil begin to fill the holes in her life as the essence of her being. Tina soon learns that there is no such thing as picture perfect when trying to piece her life back together from a fall out between two individuals. Through her journey, she begins to see that talking through her stories is the only path that leads to walking through her healing.

Broken Pieces

Everyday when we wake up, we are given a choice of how we will choose to live our lives. If we were to sit down and listen to most people describe the lives that they are living here on earth, they would say that they are “living their best lives”. Unfortunately, their unconscious, unhealthy relationship patterns show differently. In Katina’s first book, “The Journey”, she goes into detail of how she walked through her own personal healing journey of emotional abuse, trauma, abandonment, and divorce, in order to rebuild her life. In this book, Katina dives deep into where the broken pieces are, starting with identity and mindset, and ending with our healing. We are motivated and empowered throughout every chapter, and finally, challenged in the end, to get off our mats, and thrive!

Valley of Grace

What happens when our valley meets God’s abundance of grace? The possibilities are endless. God gives us a front row seat to being refined for maturity in him, and fulfillment of our calling. There are no special qualifications. We only need a willing heart to answer the call to use what God has given us for his glory.

This book has devotionals and poetry to help encourage you in the roughest times, see the power of the Holy Spirit, and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has not forgotten about you.

Surrendered

We all desire the empowered new chapter of life, the abundant life that God has so richly promised us. Healing from past hurts is part of the process. In “The Journey”, Katina took you through her own personal journey of healing. What happens if our process of healing from past hurts is different than the way it looks for others? What if we realized that the process of healing from past hurts is more of an art form, a surrendering of our minds, hearts, souls, emotions, and wills that are ready to be molded by the Savior? In this book of poetry and devotionals, Katina helps us see that when we surrender our healing process to the sovereignty of God, healing from past hurts goes from a struggle, to an art, to a rest that lies in the Creator himself.
