Beauty for Ashes

As a young child Chantell Leonie Hayles displayed the negative effects of growing up without a father - low self-esteem, insecurities, feelings of rejection, and worthlessness emotions. This led her in living a very promiscuous lifestyle as she searched for her father in men in the Gentlemen's night club world of lap-dancing; all the time continuing to search and find personal self-worth. Her worth was eventually found in the LORD Jesus Christ, when aged 23 years old Chantell walked out of a Spearmint Rhino Club, and straight into a church. ""BEAUTY for ASHES"", records and tells Chantell's remarkable poignant yet powerful life-changing story in her own truthful words of finding her true purpose, unconditional love, acceptance, hope & contentment in God. This book discusses how her faith in God brought her through the difficult times and experiences of physical abuse, mental health issues, shame and rejection. Her story is one of finding 'Purpose in the pain!'
