Dawn Sanders - When Your World Ends God’s Creative Process for Rebuilding a Life

Speaker and Author Dawn Sanders Empowers Women to Rebuild Their Lives When a catastrophic event, trauma, or deep disappointment leaves a gifted leader feeling helpless, where can she turn for new strategies and tools to rebuild her life? Speaker and debut author Dawn Sanders offers a unique perspective and biblical wisdom in her upcoming book, When Your World Ends: God’s Creative Process for Rebuilding a Life (InterVarsity Press, September 17, 2024). The book is a lifeline for those who have experienced significant success only to be plunged into a valley of despair and are now seeking new ways to restore their lives with God’s guidance. Dawn Sanders’ work resonates deeply with women who, despite their achievements, find themselves facing unexpected challenges. Her approach is grounded in her scholarship and seminary training, providing readers with practical tools and inspiring insights for spiritual and personal renewal. “Though my world had ended, the world hadn’t. My life hadn’t. I decided if I had to be here, eventually, I was going to find a way to enjoy my time here. I couldn’t go on hurting the way I was. That meant I had to create a new life—one without my husband, Reggie. Dawn Sanders is available for interviews and can discuss topics such as: • New strategies and tools for personal restoration when previous methods no longer work. • The role of faith in overcoming trauma and loss. • The tools and inspiration for starting over. • The intersection between the creation story and our stories. • Navigating crises and rebuilding lives on a solid foundation of faith. • Seeing the three signs of chaos in the creation story as the beginning rather than the end.
