From a life stricken by poverty to discovering truth, passion, purpose and the favor of God

DALLAS - June 28, 2013 - PRLog -- From Food Stamps to Favor (June 8, 2013 / ISBN 978-0-9890039-7-1, NyreePress) is a triumphant story about Kandra Albury’s transition from a life stricken by poverty to discovering her truths, passions, purpose and the favor of God. Kandra speaks in detail about how growing up on the system shaped her life and drove her success. Her story tells of a woman of faith and strength who refused to fall prey to her circumstances.

When Kandra found herself walking in her mother’s shoes as a divorced mom of two at 27, she resorted to her mother’s endearing example of determination, wisdom and love to beat the odds. She turned to her grandparent’s legacy of faith and perseverance to help her daughter overcome the abuse she faces at the hands of her father.

In From Food Stamps to Favor, Kandra candidly shares her testimony in a way that will grip your heart. “Sometimes we are ashamed to talk about where we come from,” Kandra says in her memoir. “Although I am grateful for my humble beginnings, I, too, for many years was embarrassed by a poverty-sickened past, but since my conscious (the Holy Spirit) kept nagging me, I knew it was time to write about my journey from poverty to prosperity-- prosperity being the discovery of my peace, calling, gifts and purposes in life.”

In this powerful story of triumph, you will come to know the grace that’s made available to you no matter what circumstance you are facing. “Kandra’s story immediately encouraged me,” says Kennisha Hill, President of NyreePress. “I was instantly touched from the very beginning. I appreciate Kandra’s transparency. It will help and encourage every reader who feels stuck in their lives. Kandra shows readers how they too were born to beat the odds!”

Kandra Albury was born and raised in Crescent City, Fla. She is married to James C. Albury and is the proud mother of three. She and her family reside in Gainesville, Fla. She has a bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of North Florida, a master’s degree in mass communications from the University of Florida and a Ph.D. in ministerial education from Truth Bible University.
