As the third book in Emily Bernath'Äôs Broken Lenses series, Broken Lenses Volume 3: Experiencing God'Äôs Freedom in a World of Sin steps back to answer the questions, 'ÄúWho is God? Do I want to get to know God? What do I get out of it?'Äù
Anyone can walk into a church and hear messages about the goodness and holiness of God, but what does that really mean? And how does God'Äôs goodness impact everyday people? Broken Lenses Volume 3 aims to answer these questions head-on, with each chapter looking at a different characteristic of God'Äôs nature, how God emulates that characteristic, and how having a God who holds those characteristics impacts every human being.
It'Äôs one thing to know that God is holy, sovereign, and merciful'Äîit'Äôs another to know how God chooses to exercise that holy, sovereign, and merciful nature. Everyone wants freedom from the shame and guilt of sin, but only God is qualified to provide that freedom. While many paint their own picture of God'Äôs identity and intention, Broken Lenses Volume 3 aims to dispel conflicting information about the heart of God and teach readers about God'Äôs true nature'Äîand the true freedom available to all who seek a relationship with Him.

A passionate advocate for survivors of sexual assault?and a rape survivor herself?Emily Bernath began writing out of her passion for women's ministry. Her personal tragedy led her into periods of darkness that she was only able to move beyond with the support of others and the healing power of Jesus. After rediscovering her faith and identity in Christ, Emily was able to discover freedom from the shame, condemnation, and abuse she experienced. Today, she lives to be a resource for other sexual assault survivors and help them find that same freedom.
In her advocacy work, Emily has spoken at many events, radio shows, and been featured on FOX 13 Salt Lake City. She teaches classes about the spiritual impact of sexual assault and how faith plays a role in a survivor's healing journey. She also supports survivors by serving on the board of Reveal to Heal International?a faith-based non-profit that seeks to address sexual abuse prevention and awareness. In her career as an author, Emily has won multiple book awards, been featured on CBS in both Salt Lake City and Toledo, and done book signings in eight different states. Her third book, Broken Lenses Volume 3: Experiencing God's Freedom in a World of Sin, addresses the personal nature of God and his desire to connect with his creation.
When she's not writing, Emily Bernath enjoys drinking good coffee, playing softball, supporting her local church, and connecting with other people to hear their stories. She currently resides in Salt Lake City.
