Lacey Sturm’s "The Mystery: Finding True Love In A World Of Broken Lovers," Available Today

October 4, 2016

Nashville, Tenn. (Oct. 4, 2016) – GRAMMY® Nominated artist and author Lacey Sturm has released her second book “The Mystery: Finding True Love In A World Of Broken Lovers,” available today. Two years after Sturm's book debut, “The Mystery” includes Sturm’s personal account of her own journey and struggles, giving fans a look inside her life from heartbreak to wholeness. Sturm helps readers understand that any loving relationship begins with knowing your own identity in Christ.

'There are beautiful parts of "The Mystery," and there are sad parts...things that I regret and wish I could do better,' shares Sturm. "At the same time, I know that because I went through those things I can overcome. My hope is that it will help other people overcome too."

Critics have raved about "The Mystery," writing:

"Lacey uses her life experiences, both successes and failings, to show that the one True Love we all should be seeking in this world is from God. It's a real, refreshing, and relatable reminder that in our darkest moments, we only need to look up to our Father for the grace and comfort we all deserve." - Rock Revolt Magazine

'It is clear that Lacey has a heart for Christ and a desire to share His love with those who are battling depression, addiction, abuse, and suicide. Lacey Sturm's writing style is richly intense, yet free-flowing and uniquely approachable. I highly recommend "The Mystery" and believe it will touch many, many lives.' - Tattoo.com

'In her latest book, “The Mystery: Finding True Love in a World of Broken Lovers,” Lacey Sturm takes us on a unique and deeply personal soul-searching endeavor that leaves reader with new, eye-opening perspectives on love, life and interpersonal connections." - Icon vs. Icon

Excerpts written to readers throughout the book include Skillet's Korey Cooper and Jen Ledger, husband Joshua Sturm, founder of Pulse Ministries Nick Hall, sister-in-law Joelene Sturm and many more, along with an afterward written by Harvest Christian Fellowship pastor Greg Laurie.

“The Mystery” is available for purchase at Baker Book House and other major retailers nationwide.

Former Flyleaf Singer Lacey Sturm Shares How Faith Saved Her Life in Upcoming Book "The Reason - How I Discovered a Life Worth Living"

July 31, 2014

Atheist on the brink of suicide finds God and hope 

Nashville, Tenn. (July 31, 2014) - From drug use and suicide attempts to finding faith and purpose, Lacey Sturm gets real in her upcoming book "The Reason - How I Discovered a Life Worth Living," set to hit shelves in October (Baker Books). In her personal story, the former Flyleaf singer shares her journey from atheism to salvation and how she found faith on the day she planned to end her life.

More than another "rock star autobiography," "The Reason" leads readers down the rocky path that led Sturm to the founding of the popular band Flyleaf. Sturm deftly weaves her story in vivid detail while offering poignant insights that speak to the "Why?" behind her struggles. Sturm wrote "The Reason" in hopes that it would speak to those dealing with similar struggles.

Click below to watch "The Reason I Wrote a Book" with Lacey Sturm.

Available October 7th. Preorder online today at: www.Amazon.com www.Barnes&Noble.com www.BakerPublishingGroup.com

At age ten, Sturm began to doubt the existence of a good God when she lost her cousin to abuse. Her young life spiraled out of control as she dealt with her own abuse by letting her anger and confusion guide her into drugs and depression. She gave up on God; her only solace came through tears as she cried herself to sleep each night. As she was lying in bed one night, she decided to end the pain for good and planned to commit suicide the next day. The next morning, however, Sturm got into a screaming match with her grandmother, who tried to force her to go to church. To stop the yelling, she went to church, never anticipating what she would find there - a reason to live.

Sturm dedicates the book "To the one like my teenage self, who is a breath away from finding the beauty of a life worth living. To whoever needs to know that God loves you and has a plan for your life, and though you will die one day, he doesn’t want you to die tonight."

The book's foreword is written by Brian "Head" Welch, co-founder and guitarist for the GRAMMY®-winning metal band Korn and former drug addict. In "The Reason," Welch mentions his own struggle with depression before becoming a Christian and says "A book with this much substance will, without a doubt, live on to change lives for generations."

Here's what others are saying about "The Reason - How I Discovered a Life Worth Living:"


“Fresh. Passionate. Powerful. Lacey Sturm does in "The Reason" what she has done her whole career—she tells the truth, sings the truth, dances the truth. Her story will blow you away, and her heart will touch you.” 
—Chap Clark, Ph.D., author of "Hurt 2.0: Inside the World of Today’s Teenagers"

“In a time where the gulf between sacred and secular seems to grow incrementally, Lacey bridges the gap with her soulbearing candor, raw passion, and prophetic insight.”
—John L. Cooper, lead singer of Skillet

“At its core, Lacey’s story is one of hope. From desperation to redemption to victory, this is an amazing journey that, apart from God, would not be possible.” 
—Michael W. Smith, singer and songwriter 

“Lacey Sturm is a voice of hope to a hurting generation. In her book, you will experience God’s unstoppable heart for you and for those in your life who need a supernatural reset.” 
—Nick Hall, Founder of PULSE Movement
