“And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony…” ~ Revelation 12:11 NLT
Thanks to NetGalley for the complimentary copy of this amazing woman’s book
I knew a little bit about Annie before I requested this book…that’s actually why I requested her book. I don’t remember how I learned about her and her ministry, I just remember I discovered her Myspace page back in the days before Facebook, and as a result of researching about her and Hookers for Jesus I discovered she was married to a musician and….voila! I discovered Stryper and fell in love with the band as well.
If anyone is an expert on the reality of the sex industry it is Annie Lobert. She has been through more lows and highs than the “average person”, but the truth is her biography is average for so many in that industry. This book is not for the faint of heart.
The testimony of her years of trying to satisfy her insatiable need for love only to be met with overwhelming heartbreak is told in such simple terms. While reading her biography, it’s as if she is sitting down with you and talking. Even though I knew some of her story and most of us probably think we know the horrors of prostitution, I still cringed at certain points. I knew she had been in abusive relationships more than once, and having had family members in abusive relationships I can understand her explanations of what her thoughts were at the time and why she stayed for so long….but it was still heartbreaking to read in her words all she went through, and I’m sure there is still so much more that she could tell.
The end of the book not only shares how Annie came to Christ and was radically transformed when she became a Christian, but also shares some short testimonies from women in her ministry that have been saved physically and spiritually. Her heart for the women who are still in the sex industry is so evident throughout, her passion cannot be contained and is contagious. It’s still hard to put into words how much her story affects me and how grateful I am for her passionate heart.
