Before reading Kelly’s book, I had completely given up. I was angry, anxious, and convinced that God had forgotten me. But page by page, something started to shift. Her story spoke to the same pain I was drowning in, and for the first time in years, I felt seen. I realized that God was never gone, I had just stopped looking for Him. This book helped me believe again.
“I Thought God Was Done With Me”
When I opened Mental Health from a Biblical Perspective, I was desperate for answers and numb to everything around me. Kelly’s honesty broke through that numbness. She didn’t sugarcoat her pain, and that made me trust her words. Somewhere between the tears and the truth, I found hope again. Her story reminded me that even the lost can be found, and even the broken can be used by God.
“She Wrote What My Heart Couldn’t Say”
★★★★★
★★★★★
I picked up Kelly’s book out of desperation, not faith. I had been through so much loss and disappointment that I didn’t even recognize myself anymore. I wasn’t looking for a sermon or a pep talk, I just needed something real. What I found in her words was truth wrapped in gentleness. She didn’t preach at me; she spoke to me. She wrote about pain like someone who had lived it, and about God like someone who had finally met Him in the middle of it. Her story gave me permission to stop pretending and start healing. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and hope in my heart for the first time in a very long time.
“I Didn’t Know Healing Could Feel Like This”
When I found Kelly’s writing, I was barely holding on. I believed in God but felt too damaged for Him to want anything to do with me. Every time I tried to pray, I felt silence. Then I started reading her story. It didn’t feel like a book; it felt like someone had opened a window in a room I had been trapped in for years. She put words to things I never knew how to say; the ache, the shame, the quiet anger at life and at myself. Through her honesty and the way she ties every hurt back to God’s healing, I started to feel something I hadn’t in a long time: peace. Her words didn’t just tell me that God still loved me; they helped me feel it again.
“Her Words Reached the Part of Me I Thought Was Gone”

Mental Health from a Biblical Perspective
This book was written for those who are tired of holding it all together on the outside while falling apart on the inside. It is for the ones who lie awake at night with racing thoughts, the ones who smile through silent battles, and the ones who have prayed for peace but still feel the weight pressing down on their chest. Kelly Hoover writes from her own experience of anxiety, panic, and despair, sharing how she learned that real healing does not begin with self-help but with surrender.
Mental Health from a Biblical Perspective is not a textbook or a sermon. It is an honest conversation about what it means to walk through darkness and find light in God’s Word. Kelly takes the reader by the hand and shows what happens when faith meets pain, when prayer becomes raw and unpolished, and when the love of God starts breaking through the lies that have shaped your identity.
The book reveals the spiritual roots behind emotional and mental struggles, exposing how fear, shame, and guilt can distort the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Through personal stories, biblical truth, and practical reflection, Kelly helps readers begin the journey of renewing the mind one thought at a time. She reminds the reader that peace is not the absence of problems but the presence of God in the middle of them.
This book is for anyone who has ever wondered if healing was possible for them. It is for the believer who feels unseen, the seeker who feels unworthy, and the skeptic who is afraid to hope again. Kelly’s story is proof that no matter how long the battle has lasted, there is still a way to find peace that the world cannot take away.
Companion Workbook: Mental Health from a Biblical Perspective
This workbook was created to walk beside the main book and help you put the truths you have read into action. It is designed to give you space to slow down, process, and work through what God is revealing as you heal. Inside, you will find guided reflections, writing prompts, prayer exercises, and moments of stillness that help you connect your emotions with biblical truth.
It pairs best with Mental Health from a Biblical Perspective and follows the same journey of identifying strongholds, renewing your mind, and learning to see yourself through the lens of God's love. Together, the two create a powerful path for those who are ready to face their pain instead of running from it.
The workbook is not about perfect answers or quick recovery. It is about taking small, steady steps toward peace. Whether you use it privately, with a counselor, or in a small group setting, it gives you structure and encouragement to keep going when healing feels hard. Each page invites honesty, reflection, and hope because your story is still being written and God is not finished with you yet.
Betrayal in the Sanctuary
This book speaks to those who have been wounded inside the very walls where they sought peace. It is for the one who trusted spiritual leaders and walked away feeling used, unseen, or broken. Kelly Hoover understands the deep pain that comes from spiritual betrayal and the confusion that follows when people who speak for God act without His heart.
Betrayal in the Sanctuary is not a story of bitterness or blame. It is a message of truth and restoration. Kelly exposes how deception can slip quietly into sacred spaces when pride, control, or personal agendas replace humility and grace. She writes to those who left the church because they were hurt, and to those who have stayed but feel the fire of their faith growing dim.
Each chapter offers both honesty and hope. Kelly does not avoid the hard questions or the uncomfortable realities, but she always brings the reader back to the character of God, who never betrays and never abandons His people. This book invites readers to separate who God truly is from what people have done in His name.
Betrayal in the Sanctuary will meet readers where trust was shattered and help them find a faith built on something unshakable. It is for anyone who has been disillusioned by religion and longs to rediscover the love of the Savior who still welcomes them with open arms.

Hiding In Plain Sight: When the Mask Feels Safer Than the Truth
This book is written for the ones who appear strong but feel like they are breaking inside. It is for those who laugh in public and cry in private, who show up for everyone else but have no one who truly sees them. Kelly Hoover speaks to the heart that has learned to perform, protect, and pretend just to survive. Through raw honesty and deep reflection, she reveals how many of us hide our pain behind roles, responsibilities, and religion because the truth feels too heavy to face.
Hiding In Plain Sight invites readers to stop running from the pain and start uncovering the parts of themselves they have buried for too long. Kelly shares her own moments of hiding, where fear and shame convinced her that vulnerability was weakness. With compassion and authenticity, she guides readers through the process of unmasking, healing, and rediscovering who they truly are when everything false begins to fall away.
This book does not point fingers or preach. It reaches out a hand to those who are tired of pretending and long to be real again. Kelly reminds readers that God does not meet us in the performance. He meets us in the truth. He heals what we bring into the light and restores what we no longer try to fix on our own.
Hiding In Plain Sight is for anyone who has ever whispered, “I’m fine,” when they were anything but. It is a mirror for the soul and an invitation to step into freedom, the kind of freedom that only comes when you stop hiding from God and let Him show you who you were always meant to be.
The Way Back: Finding Peace in the Presence That Never Left
The Way Back is more than a story of redemption. It is a journey through a lifetime of pain, loss, and divine restoration. From the moment before Kelly Hoover was born, her life was marked by struggle and survival. What doctors said would be impossible became the beginning of a story that God would one day use to reveal His presence in the middle of brokenness.
Through childhood trauma, fear, and years of silence, Kelly learned to hide behind strength while quietly falling apart inside. The Way Back walks through every season of that journey with honesty and courage, from the early wounds that shaped her identity to the years of anxiety, panic, betrayal, and heartbreak that followed. Yet even in the darkest moments, there was a presence waiting to be found.
This book is written for the one who has carried pain for so long that healing feels out of reach. It speaks to those who have wandered, doubted, or been told that God could not use someone as damaged as them. Kelly’s story proves that He can and that He does. Through loss came awakening, through surrender came peace, and through every valley came the quiet truth that God had never left.
The Way Back invites readers to rediscover hope, purpose, and the kind of love that restores what life has shattered. It is not just about finding God again. It is about realizing that He was there all along, guiding every step, waiting for the moment you would finally look up and see that you were never alone.
