There comes a moment in every believer’s life when moving forward requires the courage to look back.
Not to relive the pain, but to finally heal it - with Jesus leading the way.
In Going Back to Go Forward, pastor, author, and ministry leader Rebecca Coley invites readers into a life-changing journey of emotional restoration and spiritual transformation. With raw honesty and profound biblical insight, Rebecca shares her own story of surviving unimaginable trauma, overcoming impossible odds, and discovering the healing power of Jesus in the deepest, most broken places of her heart.
Far from a clinical textbook or a distant theological discussion, this book is a companion for those who feel stuck, wounded, overwhelmed, or silently battling internal battles they don’t know how to name. Rebecca speaks to the heart that loves God deeply yet still feels fractured inside - the heart that knows there must be more than surviving… there must be healing.
Through practical teaching, prophetic revelation, and gentle storytelling, Rebecca reveals:
Why God often leads us back to the places we’d rather avoid
How trauma shapes identity, relationships, self-worth, and faith
What it truly looks like to let Jesus heal the wounds of your past
How to dismantle lies, internal vows, and survival patterns
How to partner with the Holy Spirit for lasting emotional freedom
Why wholeness is not instant, but absolutely possible for every believer
Rebecca writes with tenderness, clarity, and the authority of someone who has walked through the fire and emerged whole. She reminds readers that Jesus is not afraid of our pain - He steps into it. He restores what was stolen. And He rewrites the parts of our story we thought were beyond redemption.
Whether you are leading others, serving in ministry, navigating your own healing, or simply longing for peace, this book will meet you exactly where you are. It will give language to your pain, courage for your process, and hope for your future.
You don’t have to live fragmented, exhausted, or bound by the emotions and experiences of your past. Healing is not only possible - it is God’s intention for you.
Going Back to Go Forward is your invitation to walk with Jesus into the places where pain once lived and discover the freedom, identity, and wholeness He always meant for you to carry.
