ā€œFrom Fear to Freedom: Embracing Redemption Through the Blood of the Lamb,ā€ by Bridget Ledesma, is a moving new spiritual study book that invites readers on a profound journey to unravel the chains of fear that bind them and move toward transformation, healing and liberation.

ā€œThe message is one of surrender: readers are encouraged to release their fears, insecurities and past failures to God,ā€ Ledesma said. ā€œTo discover that genuine freedom lies in embracing their identity as children of God, living in the grace and power of His Word, and walking in obedience to His guidance.ā€

Ledesmaā€™s personal experiences and battles with fear served as inspiration for her book.

ā€œMy own journey, afflicted by the struggles and challenges I’ve faced, has set the foundation forĀ me to take this step,ā€ the author said. ā€œGrowing up with unaddressed fear, which became an unnoticed companion in my life, is what I thinkĀ manyĀ can relate to.ā€

Some of the fears addressed inside ā€œFrom Fear to Freedomā€ are loneliness, rejection and self-esteem. Within the book, Ledesma includes scriptures, explanations of scriptures, questions and exercises for readers aimed to help them face and overcome their fears.

ā€œFrom Fear to Freedomā€ is intended for a universal audience and Ledesma hopes readers gain ā€œspiritual growth, feel empowered, healing, find support and above all experience God’s love.ā€

Ledesmaā€™s favorite part of her book is the discovery portion.

ā€œWhen I began to discover the fears in my life and write them out and how they have robbed me, I was able to identify exactly what I needed to pray for and bring those emotions and concernsĀ to my lord and savior Jesus Christ,ā€ Ledesma said.

In addition to being an author, Ledesma owns a pressure washing service company in Inglewood. She is based in Los Angeles. To connect with the author, visit her via TikTok @arosestory.
