Kathy Smoker, vocalist in the Breakthrough band, has spent the past two years writing her personal story in her book, titled "His Promises for Me". Her story reveals the conflicting emotions of an innocent child caught in the devastation of abuse. At an early age, she was victimized repeatedly by a neighbor over the course of several years.

In a broken state, Kathy entered the teen years and adulthood. In the midst of personal dysfunction, rebellion and inner turmoil, Kathy turned to God, searching the Bible for answers. There she discovered powerful words of truth, offering promises of hope, healing and a new life in Christ. Claiming these promises brought a transformation to Kathy's world, helping her in the renewing of her mind and in tearing down strongholds of fear, anger and hopelessness.

Kathy is excited to release the book containing her testimony and the promises that changed her life; and it is her prayer that many others will be changed in the same way. Kathy is fully aware of the fiery darts that are constantly being sent out from a spiritual enemy roaming the earth, seeking whom he can devour (I Peter 5:8). "In this world, we have serious opposition," says Kathy. "It doesn't always come easy or feel natural to do the right thing, and that is why it is so important to stay connected to God and ask Him to cover us with His blood and His promises every day."
