1548: God Made Me and You Couldn’t Break Me, A Powerful Memoir of Survival with Denise Devroe
When a devoted wife and mother found herself trapped in a cycle of infidelity, violence, and fear shot at in broad daylight, run over by her own car, grieving her father’s sudden death she turned to the only constant she had left: God. Author and survivor Denise Devroe joins Robert Plank to share the story behind her powerful memoir, God Made Me and You Couldn’t Break Me, a raw, faith‑filled account of finding peace and strength after years of abuse and heartbreak. In this conversation, Denise opens up about living with a gambling, cheating husband, enduring physical and emotional trauma, and the moment she realized that praying wasn’t just for crises it had to become her way of life. She explains how daily prayer, morning and night, carried her through divorce, danger, and financial struggle, and how God’s protection over her and her children revealed there really is light after the darkest seasons.
Instead of glossing over the pain or pretending faith makes life easy, Denise speaks honestly about fear, confusion, and the long, messy process of leaving a toxic relationship. She shares how God answered prayers in His timing, not hers, how her children broke the cycle instead of repeating it, and why she believes you should never ignore the early red flags in a relationship. Denise also talks about the emotional challenge of reliving her story through a ghostwriter, the meaning behind her book’s title and tear‑and‑ripple cover, and her desire for readers especially those in abusive or unstable situations to know that God can still write a new chapter for their lives. Whether you’re in the middle of a storm, trying to rebuild after one, or simply needing a reminder that you’re not alone, this memoir and conversation offer a simple message: there is hope, there is healing, and God’s plan is bigger than what tried to break you
Quotes:
“You can break my heart, my body, my plans but you cannot break what God Himself has built inside of me.”
“Don’t wait for the crisis to pray. Stay prayed up in the sunshine so you’re not alone in the storm.”
“There is life after lies, after bruises, after betrayal there is light after the darkness, and God will walk you all the way there.”
