"THE COUNTERFEIT"
For every good thing God promises, the enemy's counterfeit lies in wait.
​​
We understand that everything God has created is beautiful, and His intention is for us to live a full life. Despite the abundance of goodness that God has in store for us, it often feels like we are consistently falling short.
​
It's not that we are unaware of what is good or that we lack the desire for it. However, one of the challenges we face is that alongside every good thing God promises us, there are counterfeits that Satan creates to deceive us into believing that these counterfeits align with God's intentions.
​
These counterfeits, as Jesus referred to them, are like 'wolves in sheep’s clothing.' We've all encountered them, and perhaps, in a twisted turn of events, we have unknowingly become someone else's counterfeit.
​
This book serves as an exploration into the unveiling of these wolves in sheep's clothing. Some may label them as narcissists, but fundamentally, they are simply counterfeits—imitations of the love and friendship that God envisioned when He created relationships.
Daughter, Arise
​
There comes a time in every woman’s life when she looks around at the fragments of her story the pain, the silence, the performance, the shame and wonders if this is all there is?
But what if the story isn’t over? What if the place where you've been buried is not your final chapter, but the very ground where resurrection begins?
Daughter, Arise is a call to rise from the ashes of everything that was meant to destroy you trauma, culture, silence, survival and step into the life your Creator always had in mind.
It’s not a self-help manual or a self-love bandage. It’s a deep, divine invitation to return to the One who knew your name before you were ever wounded. The One who still speaks life over dead places. The One who still takes little girls by the hand and says, “Talitha koum.”
With prophetic boldness and tender truth, author Nontobeko Kolstad walks with you through the war zones of womanhood—unpacking the wounds we carry, the lies we've believed, the scriptures that were twisted, and the power we've forgotten. From the quiet ache of comparison to the loud trauma of abuse, from purity culture to performative feminism, from distorted theology to divine identity—this book leaves no stone unturned.
But it doesn't stop with pain , but it leads you through it and out.
This book is for the woman who has lost her voice, lost her way, or lost her hope. It’s for the one who has been performing to be accepted, surviving to be safe, or hiding just to be loved. It’s for the one who still believes somewhere deep down that there must be more. And there is. This is the moment where Jesus leans in and says: “Get up, daughter. I’m not done with you yet.”
