This is a story of one woman's journey through horrendous obstacles and terrible injustices. Broken Not Shattered reflects the molding of a true warrior of God. From the day she was born, Zara Banks was in a struggle for survival. After being exposed to abuse, neglect, rejection, and being bullied most of her life, Zara struggled to understand if she even had a purpose in this world. Once becoming a mother herself, Zara questioned why God would allow so many horrific things happen to her. How could she be the mother she knew she wanted to be, when the torment of her past continued to haunt her? Zara continued to face trails in her life that seemed to rival that of Job, but through every trial, she continued to fight for what she felt was right. Facing a millionaire that tried to take her only child, suffering the abuse of her past, and fighting her addictions, by never giving up, Zara became a stronger woman who overcame adversity worse than most of us can even imagine. In the end, she emerged from the flaming depths of hell that continued to surround her in life. Broken Not Shattered proves that you can come out of the darkness in this world much stronger, confident, and victorious. This heart-wrenching, detailed real-life story is a must read for social workers, educators, and all human service professionals. Zara represents our mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, and neighbors. The unconditional love she reflects for God and her daughter, with her humility and capacity for forgiveness, is an inspiration for all women. (Kim Wasik, retired and still currently a licensed social worker, LMSW) I cannot express how much this book changed my life and exposed faith I never knew I had. Broken Not Shattered opened my eyes to realize that I was worth the fight. This book truly saved me from giving up and gave me the confidence to make changes, not only for myself but also for my children. I realized that if this woman could go through hell and come back, then I could too! (Laci Hall)
Zara Banks struggled for years to find her purpose in life. After asking and seeking God to give her direction on how to overcome the tragedies and challenges she faced, Zara began to truly surrender everything to the King of kings. Forgiving those who had abused her, asking forgiveness, and repenting from her own sins, Zara began to realize what freedom really felt like. For a long time, Zara questioned why God would allow so much to happen to her, not fully understanding there is a real enemy who comes to kill, steal, and destroy. After a massive encounter with Holy Spirit in January of 2018, Zara was undeniably forever changed. She was instantly delivered from lifelong addictions, abuse, and wrong believing. Soon came a whirlwind of events, followed by miracles, signs, and wonders; those around Zara also saw what following Jesus Christ could do to a life that was once lost. From being blessed with a quarter-million-dollar home, paid in full, to miraculous healings, Zara began living a life straight out of the book of Acts. Realizing the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the grave now lived inside of her, Zara never looked back. Her heart was completely surrendered to the Lord, and her life was no longer her own. As blessings continued to pour down on Zara, her humility became the very force that allowed her to touch and influence so many others. What the enemy intended to use to destroy Zara became the very strength the Lord used to bring her to life. Zara was once Broken Not Shattered, but when she surrendered everything to the Creator of the Universe, she became Healed not broken! "The story of Zara continues to amaze me. Her life shows beautifully how God can and wants to use the broken. The way God grew Zara and held her hand through all the challenges she faced is an encouragement to all of us. This story is proof that to know God is to spend time with Him and seek Him. Zara is an inspiration that God truly does go after His one." --Anja Blatter
