Nothing on earth communicates the truth of God's promise to see us through unspeakable places of darkness—or of his promise to sustain us through our stuttering steps of faith—like the testimonies of the faithful.

From Battle Scars to Beauty Marks is a collection of gripping testimonies by seven faithful women. These are women whose life journeys have taken them through the valley of shadows, through the trials of transformation, and who have been found faithful, hopeful, and yes—even joyful.

Delicately capturing the stories on the page and skillfully weaving them together, author and speaker Ellie Lofaro brings the gentle perspective of a wise counselor and the reassuring humor of a best friend. Ellie will guide you through the depths of a life-transforming expeirence—from the painful realities of suffering to the moments of profound clarity, divine irony, and at last, hope rising from the ashes.
