ABOUT THE BOOK

An Unshackled Life

31 Days of Hope and Freedom for the Imprisoned Soul

Christina Kimbrel’s book An Unshackled Life beside a Bible, coffee, and journal
Cover of An Unshackled Life by Christina D. Kimbrel

An Unshackled Life is a 31-day devotional for anyone who feels trapped by addiction, shame, trauma, regret, or the circumstances of life.

The idea for the book began while Christina was incarcerated. After surrendering her life to Christ, she began studying the Bible and reading devotionals that helped her understand and apply Scripture. During that time, she felt called to write a devotional from the perspective of someone who had experienced bondage and found freedom.

Although written with incarcerated readers in mind, the message is for anyone longing for hope and healing.

Throughout the book, Christina points readers to a simple truth: genuine freedom begins in the heart, and Jesus Christ is the One who sets captives free.

“He brought them out of the utter darkness, and tore off their shackles.” — Psalm 107:14 NET

This Book Is For:

  • Incarcerated men and women

  • Families of incarcerated individuals

  • Jail and prison ministries

  • Recovery ministries

  • Anyone seeking biblical hope and freedom

Before sending a book to an incarcerated person, please confirm the institution’s rules and approved retailers.

Chaplains, churches, ministries, and families may contact Christina with questions about obtaining copies.
