Rich with Nicole C. Mullen’s deeply personal lessons from her own journey of overcoming abuse and betrayal, this book provides biblical insights and practical encouragement.

Nicole C. Mullen is known for her success as an artist, winning nine Dove Awards including Female Vocalist of the Year for her hit songs “Redeemer” and “On My Knees.” However, what most don’t know is that Nicole, like everyone else, has suffered from brokenness, pain, and fear of the future.

It was during these trying moments that Nicole drew strength from courageous men and women, who in difficult times trusted God to help them make the right decisions in their darkest seasons. In her new book It’s Never Wrong to Do the Right Thing, Nicole shares the stories of people from the Bible, history, and her life who have inspired her to make changes for the better. Through her reflective storytelling and rich Bible teaching, you will discover:

• Guidance in knowing when to wait or act (Abigail)
• The value of life and why it’s worth fighting for (Jochebed)
• How rewards will come when we fear God more than man (Rahab)
• The urgency to obey God when He speaks (Mary and Joseph)
• The importance of initiating change (Elizabeth Freeman) 

You don’t have to stay stuck in the shadows of despair and shame. Godly decisions will help restore your heart and direct you to a life of abundant blessings in Christ.
