(1888PressRelease) August 02, 2013 - Phoenix, Ariz. - Life is filled with challenges. Every day people around the world struggle with divorce, illness, death, getting fired, and more. Lynn Cochrane Leonard, a retired Phoenix, Arizona psychotherapist, knew understood that preventing traumatic events was impossible. But she could do her best to help people work through them.

"Life can be painful, but that doesn't mean we have to let pain overwhelm us," Leonard says, "I became a therapist to help people work through the times in their life when they just want to give up. It's important to remember that we are never given more than we can handle. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how bleak things might seem. In my years working as a therapist I did my best to help people move forward."

After battling an illness of her own, Leonard found that she was looking at the world in a new way. She discovered that prayer, perseverance and a powerful sense of purpose were her ticket to healing. Leonard wanted to share her findings with other people, which inspired her to write Not By Chance: God's "Coincidental" Guidance of My Life.

"People tend to brush off events in their life as coincidence, or chance, not taking time to look at the bigger picture," Leonard says. "But God has a plan for all of us. No matter how dark things might seem, we're not alone. God does not abandon us and leave us to fend for ourselves. My book helps open people's eyes so they can recognize the powerful force at work in their everyday lives."

On Leonard's website, booksofupliftingfaith.com, anyone interested can read an excerpt from By Chance: God's "Coincidental" Guidance of My Life, as well as read reviews. Leonard hopes to use this as a way to put people everywhere on the road to healing.

"Have you been questioning the meaning behind events in your life? Have you been wondering how all the pieces fit together? My book attempts to answer some of those questions," Leonard says. "This is a very personal project for me, one that came about after years of research and hard work. Sometimes it can be hard to accept that God does his work through all of us, but that doesn't make it any less true. Part of my work is educating people about faith, and showing them how to carry on in the face of any tragedy. Pick up a copy of my book today and start working towards wellness in your own life."
