In a world that often tells women to stay silent, and do nothing about their pain, Carolyn Hammond McKenzie raises her voice, and in doing so, she sets countless of others, free. Her memoir, God’s Unspeakable Joy, is a must-read for everyone, especially for women who have ever felt trapped, broken, overlooked, or lost in the fog of life’s hardest battles.
This book is not just a story. It’s a lifeline. A beacon. A map for survival, healing, and resurrection through Christ.
A Story That Mirrors So Many Others
Carolyn’s life reads like a diary of the struggles many women face but few talk about, domestic abuse, betrayal, single motherhood, rejection, grief, and the long, slow road to self-worth. Yet unlike many memoirs that dwell on the pain, God’s Unspeakable Joy takes you past the heartbreak and into the miracle-working presence of God.
She survived more than just abuse, she overcame shame, fear, and spiritual oppression. And she came out stronger. Her testimony is one of triumph, not tragedy.
Why This Book Speaks to Women Today
Women today are bombarded with expectations: be strong, be successful, be beautiful, be everything to everyone. But what about the woman who feels like she’s barely holding it together? Carolyn’s message is for her.
She reminds us that our worth is not found in the opinions of others, or past decisions, but instead, it is found in believing in Christ and His teachings. Her words echo with compassion and clarity she reminds us:
“We must remember that even though God never leaves us, we might end up leaving Him. And if we leave God, it can open the door for many trials and unnecessary tribulations.”
This is not a scolding. Rather it is a loving call to come home, and to return to the source of peace, purpose, and unshakable identity.
Empowering Through Honesty
Carolyn doesn’t sugarcoat the dark days. She talks openly about being strangled, locked out, emotionally tormented, and even stalked. But she also shares how God gave her the strength to leave, the wisdom to protect her son, and the courage to rebuild.
And when she lost her son, her only child, God gave her supernatural peace and the assurance that Kenny had made things right with Christ before he passed. That kind of faith doesn’t just happen. It’s cultivated. And this book is a powerful tool to help women start planting seeds of that same trust.
A Sister’s Voice in Your Corner
When you read God’s Unspeakable Joy, it feels like Carolyn is sitting across from you, sharing her heart. She’s not preaching, she’s relating. Her tone is that of a sister who’s been through it, come out the other side, and now wants to help you do the same.
