Write Now Literary Tour giveaway with Eurita Taylor and surviving abuse
Write Now Literary is pleased to be organizing a two-week book tour and $25 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway for His Strength In My Weakness by Dr. Eurita Taylor.
The book tour will run Sept 20- Oct 1, 2021.
Genre: Inspirational Nonfiction, Memoir
ISBN-978-1545663172
Dr. Eurita Taylor is gifted to understand the unique struggles of single mothers. As a survivor of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, she penetrates their pain, frees them from binding insecurities, and directs them to His glory. Accountant by day and counselor by night, Dr. Eurita uses her personal experiences, professional skills, and Ph.D. in Christian counseling to empower women struggling with low self-esteem, homelessness, and financial stewardship.
What happens when children can’t trust the adults who are supposed to protect them?
With childhood innocence snatched from her, Dr. Eurita Taylor questioned God. For years, she ran from Him and into the arms of abuse, hunger, and depression. With her personal prodigal son experience, she released the hurt, betrayal, and abandonment to make her way back to the lover of her soul. His Strength in My Weakness chronicles her journey from wallowing in pity, doubt, and unbelief to reconnecting with Her Father. Showered with grace, mercy, and an abundance of love, she understood that the power to overcome was always in reach.
In this book, you will discover:
• Why God wants to turn your self-hatred into self-love
• Strategies to boost your confidence and faith
• How to shift your perspective to see failures as steps toward success
• Scriptures, prayers, and inspirations affirming that He is always with you
• Forgiveness as a tool to bless others and yourself
Praise for His Strength In My Weakness
“Dr. Taylor’s story told in her book, His Strength in My Weakness, is powerful, compelling, and at times, raw. She provides a roadmap which shows that no matter how difficult life can be, you can experience hope, breakthrough, and triumph with God.”
—Pastor Michael Kelly, Grace Fellowship Church Columbus, Ohio
“As I laid in the hospital bed and heard the doctor say, ‘You should have been dead,’ I thought about how reading His Strength in My Weakness comforted me. I am not a spiritual person and had limited understanding of the Bible references, but I read them over and over. Now I believe that He has a reason for keeping me alive.”
—Cheryl Kaiser, Manager at Speedway
$25 Visa Gift Card
Answering the question below will enter the reader in a chance to win the Visa Gift Card.
In my book, His Strength in My Weakness (http://hisstrengththebook.com), I mentioned that my ex-husband left me to birth our son alone. Was it our first, second, or third son?
I am giving away a $25 Visa card to the reader who correctly answers that question and posts it at Facebook.com/DrEuritaTaylor.

Write Now Literary Tour for the Hard Conversations novel
Sometimes it’s the conversations not had that do the most damage to the people in our lives. Hard Conversations is a collection of short stories detailing the lives of five urban people who are standing at the intersection of their past and their potential. Sensing that something is still off in the lives that they have built, each has to make the crucial decision whether to address their secrets long buried, or to continue living in the uncomfortable matrix they created. Only they can decide what their future will bring.
Our gifting often becomes our prison. I wrote this book to pull back the mask on our experience in the hopes that it compels us to confront our learned ability to white wash our pain with our talent and giftings. We are often taught that the greatest value that we bring to the world is solely present in what we do, what we earn, or how well we play. In reality our greatest value is in the stories that we can articulate to those we influence once we have reached the other side of trauma. Trauma that tried to silence our voice, trauma that caused a part of us to die in the fight, and trauma that threatened us to stay silent after our experience with it because we should just be grateful that we made it to the other side.

Write Now Lit tour with James Ruvalcaba and remarkable love
1. Why do you write the kind of books you do?
I write romance, love & loss, and inspirational books.
2. Besides when you came to know the Lord, what is the happiest day in your life?
My happiest day was the day my book got published because it meant I came through on the promise I made to my Fiancé.
3. How has being published changed your life?
It gave me the confidence to know that I was meant to write.
4. What are you reading right now?
I am currently reading Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins
5. What is your current work in progress?
I am writing my next installment in my book series.

I don’t have a particular area, but somewhere by the water so I can hear the waves at night and enjoy the over atmosphere of peace being around.
7. How do you choose your settings for each book?
I only write non-fiction books, so I pick locations within the stories, but as far as the timelines go , I think of the moments that should be relieved.
