Description
Outwardly, Claudia Cantrell was a successful, independent career woman. Inwardly, she longed for more—security, a sense of belonging, and love. She wanted a happily ever after.
Sacred Love is the heartfelt love story of a broken woman who found extraordinary victory over loneliness, insecurity, rejection, and bad decisions. Overwhelmed by her circumstances, Claudia came to a crisis of belief—she must totally surrender the pain of her past to God or forever live defeated. In choosing surrender, she ultimately began to live life abundantly—through Jesus Christ. A candid and hopeful memoir, Sacred Love will compel you to begin walking on your own path toward acceptance and restoration. God wants to lead you into your happily ever after—one where He, the Prince of Peace, is your true love.
Advance Praise
“Sacred Love captures your attention from the very beginning, so much so that you won’t be able to put it down! Through Claudia’s personal story of singleness, she exposes a subject we all deal with—God’s unconditional love regardless of your circumstances. What matters most? Loving God with all our hearts and accepting His eternal love.”
—Bob Buford, author of Halftime and Drucker & Me and founder of the Halftime Institute
“A story of hope and redemption, Sacred Love is a real-life account of God’s pursuit of love for us, even when we prefer to be self-sufficient. Claudia’s love stories with the Prince of Peace and eventually with a godly husband are woven together with a fresh look at Scripture. Readers will enjoy the humor, honesty, and life application while being reminded that God truly loves us.”
—Pastor Johnny Hunt, senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia, and author of Building Your Spiritual Resume, Shoe Leather Christianity, Building Your Leadership Resume, and Wisdom from the Scriptures Vol.1[DS1]
“Reading Sacred Love will make you happy inside! Whether you are single, married, widowed, or divorced, Claudia’s five-star story will speak to that part of you that longs to know God really loves you and will meet you in a very personal way, right where you are.”
—Jan Silvious, author of Fool-Proofing Your Life, Big Girls Don’t Whine, and Same Life, New Story

Thoughts:
SACRED LOVE: A Journey of Singleness, Belonging, and Finding True Love by Claudia Cantrell with Kim P. Davis brings us along in life. From heartbreak through pain and family issues unto death and beyond wading through career struggles and failures, we will see into our own journeys through anger, forgiveness, doubt, fear, mistakes, wishes for a do-over, wanting acceptance, and needing repentance. All the while, we sort through our emotions and realize our need of letting go.
Her life story highlights struggles in the same areas for all of us, in varying degrees at different points in time. What sometimes will seem so very right will seem all so very wrong as we fight for control that we've never had and would be happier without. Why can't we just let it go?
I highly recommend Claudia Cantrell's story as she brings Scripture into our focus and into our interaction with others, using God's Word throughout the stages of life.
It is humbling to see yourself in this read and to find through your own experience that it is too easy to take the lead. Due to pride, want, and self-sufficiency to the extreme, we take our own directions when what we really need to do is follow instead. Inside you will find many points where you relate to her struggle, and to your own surprise, you will say that was I too! All the while, you will learn through Biblical terms where you need to take heed inside of your current day.
Claudia Cantrell with Kim P. Davis will take you into Claudia's life and out of your own, placing you where you need to be on your own journey.

SACRED LOVE: A Journey of Singleness, Belonging, and Finding True Love by Claudia Cantrell with Kim P. Davis introduces us to Claudia Cantrell. Her amazing career spans continents inside the medical industry to land an amazing story of her life.
In happy times and crushing times, we are her traveling companions as she tries to find love while she's missing the love of God. She is semi-faithful and fully damaged through pain, mistakes, self-doubt, and solitude. Overpowered in her spiritual life, she runs aground in both success and failure as guilt leaves its miles long trail until Claudia surrenders, and then she finds a better way of life because through Jesus Christ she finds true love.
SACRED LOVE: A Journey of Singleness, Belonging, and Finding True Love by Claudia Cantrell with Kim P. Davis is a chronicle providing a call to us. Will we begin our own sojourn toward repentance, transformation, and surrender?
Miriam J, Reviewer
Do you ever long for a deeply soul-satisfying love and a fulfilling sense of belonging to the only One who can give you the blissful joys of a happily-ever-after life? Sacred Love is the truthful, heartfelt and poignant love story of how a precious child of God can find triumphant victory over utter brokenness. Overwhelmed by the most distressing, traumatic and turbulent circumstances, you come face to face with an ultimate crisis of belief and a numb distrust of everything in life. Unable to carry the heavy burdens anymore, you surrender the bitter, painful past to God. By surrendering to the One who loves you the most, you learn how to live life more abundantly through Christ. Sacred Love compels you to run to Jesus Christ, your heavenly Bridegroom, your happily ever after. He is your own true love, the only One who can transform a sad life into a most joyful one. Jesus is our only reason for living. In Him, we live and move and have our being. When Claudia rekindled her first love for Jesus Christ and made a firm decision to love, cherish and obey His will in her life, God healed Dr. David Cantrell’s grieving heart and gave Claudia to him as his bride. Today, Claudia and David serve Christ together in the Cantrell Ministries.
