About this audiobook
Love Exists. It's for You—and It's Worth Pursuing
Rock princess Lacey Sturm wants to share her journey from heartbreak to wholeness with young women. In The Mystery, Sturm helps readers understand that any loving relationship begins with knowing your own identity in Christ.
And yet, so many people have learned to define love through their own dysfunctional family, unhealthy relationships, the romances and wrecked relationships of mainstream pop culture, or, sadly, through pornography. Is it any wonder so many people end up brokenhearted, divorced, abused, abusive, or even suicidal?
Through personal stories, Sturm shows readers why true love is difficult and often painful but still worth fighting for. She helps women recognize destructive patterns in their relationships, discover a vision for a true and heart-flourishing love, and heal from past wounds.
For anyone seeking healthy, loving relationships in our broken world, The Mystery lights the way to the love we were meant for.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In her second book to date, former Flyleaf singer Lacey Sturm shares her lessons to get rid of her orphan identity, and really get to know Jesus Christ, and become whole. In The Mystery: Finding True Love in a World of Broken Lovers, Lacey teaches herself and her intended audience of young female readers to unearth the mysteries of deception, suicide, being fatherless, rage, and unhealthy relationships. It took a long time, spiritual coaching by the trusted couple Eric & Sarah, and a deliberate choice to put faith in Christ again to start over, and learn what it means to be a daughter of God, love a person instead of love an idea. Your identity in Christ and your relationship with your heavenly Father should have #1 priority in all circumstances.No boyfriend or partner, Nathan in Lacey's case, can replace that. The mystery of marrying Jesus, prepare ourselves as believers as His bride is awesome, and should have spiritual and practical consequences. In Lacey's life, this meant freedom to choose for singleness, to search wisdom in God's word, and listen to His voice. The way Lacey found Joshua Sturm and ended up as his wife is a wonderful story unfolding in the second half of the book. The author invited friends and mentors to write notes to the reader. This gives an additional personal touch to the narrative.Sturm is radical. The Mystery hopefully relates to many young women using romantic or sexual relationships as kind of painkiller, instead of finding their true human identity first. It's a broken world, and we all need forgiveness, healing, and restoration.
