And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:29/KJV)
RUNNIN’ IT BACK
Much to her delight, it’s safe to assume Dr. Ebony Collins is starting to get this authorship thing down pat.
That’s because for the second time in less than a year, the rising Augusta, Georgia-based writer has graced the pages of an Amazon No. 1 Bestseller book, this one entitled, The Runaway Bride of Christ: Overcoming Church Hurt, Dr. Sherley Lefevre’s latest published masterpiece that, by all accounts, has set off a fervent buzz across various message boards and social media platforms.
“God gave me the vision to contribute to this book in 2024,” Dr. Collins told Making Headline News during a recent interview.
And what a remarkably brilliant journey it has been for Dr. Collins, one of five co-authors for an anthology that is as good as advertised.

In The Runaway Bride of Christ: Overcoming Church Hurt, Visionary Dr. Sherley Lefevre, along with contributing authors Ashley Thompson, Dr. Ebony Michelle Collins, Leah Clement, and Lillie B. Randle, courageously confront a topic often silenced within the sacred walls of churches: the profound pain of church hurt,” said an Amazon spokesperson for the anthology. “This book isn’t just a recounting of past events; it’s a raw and vivid exploration of betrayal, abuse, and exclusion that permeate modern faith communities.”
Moreover, through powerful storytelling and Biblical wisdom, Dr. Lefevre and the contributing authors take readers on an emotional journey from despair to redemption, as mentioned in a detailed synopsis of The Runaway Bride of Christ: Overcoming Church Hurt via Amazon.com.
“Contained within this book are pages filled with personal experiences and testimonies of those who have endured unimaginable pain within the church but have emerged stronger, finding healing and purpose through God’s grace,” said an Amazon spokesperson for Dr. Lefevre’s collaborative written work. “The Runaway Bride of Christ serves as a beacon of hope and a rallying cry for change. It challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths, reclaim the purity of their faith, and create spaces of genuine love and acceptance within their communities. This book offers a lifeline for those who have suffered in silence—a guide to overcoming church hurt and transforming scars into badges of honor.

This is more than just a book; it’s a transformative journey toward healing and a call to action for all believers.”
According to Dr. Collins, amongst the reasons she elected to join the anthology was centered in large part on empowering people understand how often we run from our divine calling only for God to lovingly draw us back to His plan.
“I began writing my chapter in 2024,” Dr. Collins told MHN. “During this time, my faith provided strength and resilience, reminding me that my self-worth was defined by divine purpose, not by social standards. I viewed each setback as a steppingstone and each obstacle as an opportunity to reaffirm my commitment to my calling.”
When asked what divine message she aspires to send to her reading audience through The Runaway Bride of Christ,
Dr. Collins said:
“The message is about how God patiently calls us back to Him, even when we stray, showing us that our worth is defined by His love and purpose for us.”
ANOTHER AWARD-WINNER
Dr. Collins made her authorship debut in December 2023 with the release of His Beauty For My Ashes, an Amazon No. 1 Bestseller anthology that is hosted by Dr. Lefevre.
Other books, she said, are on the horizon.
“This book represents more than just a story — it is a call to action for those who have lost their way to rediscover the purpose God has for them,” Dr. Collins said. “(This books reminds us) to never doubt or fear…that God is with you no matter the circumstances.”
