MY HAUNTED FAITH is a spiritual memoir depicting the spiritual warfare Sherry endured, predominantly as a young adult. When Sherry is eighteen, she hears an angel speak to her, and the sporadic paranormal activity begins soon after. Sherry moves to another apartment with her husband Russ and their newborn; however, the paranormal activity increases. They move again, only to discover their new home is haunted. Sherry experiences a majority of the encounters. Voices and footsteps, unaccounted for, are heard frequently, and there are ghostly apparitions in her bedroom. In time, a terrifying ordeal leads to a confrontation with Satan. Realizing she will have to rid her home of these spirits on her own, she turns to her Bible for guidance. Sherry finds refuge in her Bible as she searches for her purpose in life. At the age of thirty-one, she begins nursing school. While in school, she wrestles with anxiety and depression, and an unresolved issue concerning her Baptism leads to an intense interaction with God. Sherry moves with her family to upstate New York, blessed with a nursing job and the farmhouse she and her husband prayed for. They raise their young children in the country while raising farm animals and experiencing the joy of God’s creation. Regrettably, Sherry finds intrigue in the supernatural again. Determined not to get involved in the paranormal, she draws closer to God. She begins her own Bible study at home and later becomes involved with a Ladies Bible Group. Sherry feels led to share her stories of spiritual warfare and her blessings. She reveals her understanding of how it has strengthened her and has readers reflect on their blessings while recognizing Satan’s influence in their own lives. She reinforces how one can overcome Satan’s influence by accepting Jesus in their life.
