The Enemy Within Me Was Real

About the Book

For years, Shelia Benjamin Inusah believed her greatest enemies were outside of her: grief, failed relationships, loneliness, disappointment, and the people who left. She was wrong. In this memoir, she recalls what happened when her father became sick. A preacher, a man of faith, a man with a voice that could fill a room, and someone whose relationship with God seemed deeper than words alone could express, losing him when she was a teenager left her with an incredible wound. His death is partially responsible for the woman she became: a people pleaser, fixer, rescuer, leader, and someone who nearly disappeared beneath the weight of being needed. In sharing her story, she recalls marriages, ministry, nursing, and a life-changing encounter on a beach in Morocco. Ultimately, she discovered that healing is not becoming someone new but remembering who God created you to be. The Enemy Within Me Was Real is a story of grief, faith, identity, self-forgiveness, love, and becoming. It invites readers to face the enemy and discover that the wound does not have the final word.
