From the Author
I can honestly say that this book was written out of frustration. Frustration born of years of advising women who were suffering from debilitating guilt with no written insight or instruction to help them. Frustration also because I could only meet with a relatively small number of women. I wanted desperately to get the message out that guilt need not be a life-long sentence. For ten years now people have been asking me to write a book detailing the truth about guilt and the method for getting rid of guilt, forever. So, here it is! My prayer is that 'The Gift of Guilt; 10 Steps To Freedom From Guilt, Forever' will reach the thousands upon thousands of people out there still carrying their burdens of guilt. I pray the ten steps will enable each person to lay down that guilt, forever.

About the Author
Author Shannon Miller was born in Seattle Washington, the youngest of four girls. Shannon entered the U.S. Air Force after high school, during the Vietnam war. She received training and worked as a medical laboratory technician. When Shannon was just nineteen both her parents died and so she entered her adult years without their loving guidance.

Shannon met and married a career military man and after her daughter was born they were stationed in Japan as well as the Philippines. Unfortunately, the marriage did not last and Shannon and her daughter returned to the Seattle area as a single parent family. At age thirty, Shannon met the Lord and became a 'born again' Christian. Her spiritual gift of counseling was soon apparent and Shannon has been exercising that gift for the past twenty-five years. Shannon married Jonathan in 1982 and a year later their son was added to the family. Shannon continued her gift of counseling when the family moved to Colorado where husband Jonathan was a prison chaplain. In 1996 Shannon was diagnosed with breast cancer and began the path of 'breast cancer survivor'. In 1997 the Millers moved to Northern Virginia where she continued her education, her lay counseling and began her writing career in earnest.

In 2005 Shannon was again diagnosed with breast cancer. When speaking about her cancer battle to women’s groups Shannon simply states, 'For me, cancer holds no fear. It’s a win-win situation. If I live, I win because I have more time with friends and family. If I die, I win because I know for a fact I will be in heaven with my Lord.' The Millers currently live in Virginia however, they are making plans to return to Seattle within the next year.
