Featured on America This Week with Rick Bratton, Christian book writer Canaa Lee invites you to consider the search for yourself is rarely devoid of adversity and darkness. This compilation of poetry and narrative prose is a candid depiction of how you can overcome those hurdles. There are numerous open letters to family and friends, and even letters of Christian forgiveness to those that deceived her, the root is centered around the unaddressed pain and resentment towards her father.

As she puts it: “During my childhood, I did not experience acceptance and affirmation that were essential to my emotional and mental health as a child. This emotional neglect caused me to have daddy issues. Most importantly, the broken relationship with my dad was the barrier that hindered my relationship with God.”

“It was during my tumultuous twenties that my repressed feelings of resentment, anger and hostility produced a toxic outpour. Oddly enough, I found out I was able to write and was able to assign a voice to my inner pain.”

Out of the Abundance of the Heart is a collection of beautiful letters written during times of struggle to bring light to dark situations. You can see her transformation from someone who is lost in worldliness to someone who now walks by faith, simply by reading her letters and poems written about certain points in her life.

From using biblical phrases to zeroing in on the belief that love trumps all, Out of the Abundance of the Heart is uplifting and provides a soothing feeling of healing and cleansing. Authentic and revealing, Canaa is an open book. She shares her relationship with Christ and loved ones to help her readers navigate through the tribulations of their own relationships by taking a leap of Christian faith and trusting the Lord.

Canaa shares a provocative compilation of poetry and letters that vividly displays the canvas of her heart, her unaddressed pain and resentment towards her father, her dating experiences as well as her personal life experiences soon after becoming a born-again believer in Jesus Christ.
