Beaten not Crushed

When adversity comes falling like hailstorms, finding your grip to carry on can be an uphill task. It is also said that difficult experiences can leave deep, sometimes permanent wounds and visible scars. Most people will go through adversity feeling like victims and not victors. Yet , ironically , struggling through adversity pushes us to grow in ways that ultimately make us wiser and live more fulfilling lives. Pamela like, every person who has been through adversity, has asked the question, does God truly care? She questions his true existence; she questions her identity and femininity; and her purpose too! Pamela lived what she describes as a shielded childhood in the 80\’s. She was rudely awoken by adversity upon adversity in a span of six years, just when she thought one was over, then another hit yet again. She lost her first job, experienced childlessness, failed fertility treatment, lost her brother, lost her 10-year marriage, lost property and went back to live with her parents at the age of 40. This story of how Pamela has bounced out of adversity and been restored into a place of purpose will inspire you. You will experience how God turned her messes into messages and gives her a platform to reach out to others!

    Is a must read for everyone. It clearly teaches us that no matter your faith or background life can always make the unexpected turn for you. However no matter the pain, the loss, the disappointment and whatever life can throws at you there is always hope at the end of the tunnel. It teaches us how to be resilient in the Lord,nothing is permanent and happiness is a choice no matter what you are going thru.
    Thanks Pam for laying your life down for us to learn from your experiences. God bless you

  2. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Pamela’s writing. Friends and family tell me that her subjects are interesting and her writing style is easy to follow without talking down to the reader. I wasn’t disappointed
    with this one. In it, Pamela tackles the subject extremely well. I have recommended it to those that need the encouragement

  3. Beaten not Crushed is a must read for everyone who keeps asking WHY when faced with challenges.

    It’s an easy to read masterpiece: once you pick it,you will be glued till the end.

    It’s an eye opener and at the same time a pointer to the fact that our Almighty God is the Alpha and Omega.

    Indeed the beating was a good furnace which has lead to the publication of a book that has and will continue touching lives.

  4. Beaten not Crushed is a must read. Pam opened up so much that only God can bless her for this powerful Book. Have told all my friends to read it.

  5. Beaten not crushed is a book which shows how God can pick you out of anything and turn your life around;and give you a second chance even when everything seems to have worked against you. But you have to let Him turn those ashes into beauty, and because Pamela did just that, He has used her story to change so many lives and give them a gleam of hope in the darkest of times.

  6. Beaten not Crushed. An opportunity for the reader to receive hope that when God says in Jeremiah 29:11 he has good plans for you he means it.

    So even in through the pain he is present. Through the unanswered prayers he is present. He can be counted on.

  7. Pamela shared her heart in this Book Beaten not Crushed. She teaches in this book that there is room to bounce back if you only archor yourself in God. She welcomes us to a world where however deep and bad the situation is you have it in you to find a way out. Am blessed I read this book. Got really inspired. God bless you Pamela

  9. Must read.
    Pamela spells out what God says, He never leaves us even in the storm,even in the fire. We just have to keep moving and trust in Him. He does bring us to beautiful Destiny like He promised

  10. Beaten but not crushed testimony clearly confirms the assertion that God is not yet done with you/me/us. Our role is simply to listen to His voice and obey. Trials and tribulations will indeed come our way but our faithful father will hold our hand and we shall be conquers. Thank you Pam for being vulnerable and letting us draw strength and resilience from you.

  11. Beaten not crushed for me is pressing the fear button. Did Coach Pamela fear to be judged by the world? YES!. She chose to courage over self pity, undressed herself to the public, and exposed her agonizing experience to heal the world. As a result, hundreds have learnt to share deeply to excavate and throw out the skeltons from their closets. Thank you so much for that excellent step.

  12. What I love about books is that they tell the untold story. I thought I knew the story but the book gets you to places you missed. A brave and vulnefable journey to Victory. Proudly associated.

  13. Coach Pamela is truly an angel sent from above. She is sold out to service to people. Being around her is always so fascinating to me because she never runs out of energy and love for the people she is ministering to. She is always ready to take on anything with a smile and empathy and kindness. She saw so much in me that I didn’t even see in myself and she took me under her wing and with so much compassion helped me come out of my shell that had been created by so many years of pain. She cheered me on every step of the way,held my hand and walked with me when I was ready to give up. She is truly a blessing and it warms my heart that people are able to experience her physically and through the healing words of her book.

  14. Pamela’s book really changed my life. It taught me about resilience, tenacity and Trust in God. These trials that Pam went through and her rising out victorious are the ones that keep some of us going on and pressing forward.

    Even after going through all sorts of losses, Pamela never gave up on her Creator and for me this really stood out. Whenever I go through something challenging..am reminded of Gods love and how Pamela overcame through her faith. I still feel like Pamela’s middle name should be Faith🤩she exhibited a lot of it in her book and lives by it on a daily.

  15. Beaten but not Crushed is a must-read for any woman today that is going through life. Pamela shares her life’s journey with us, and in many ways, our paths are similar, even though the details of the “being beaten’ may differ. Pamela shows that you can overcome all odds, no matter how insurmountable they may seem.

    Moreover, the book is a short read. It is one that you can read in one sitting, especially because as you read, you are dying to know how it all ended. Well done Pamela. I enjoyed every bit of your writing.

  16. This book is a story of hope and restoration. An easy read taking us through Pamela’s life of privilege and ease until it all fell apart. And yet God.
    God picks up the pieces and builds something bigger and better than before. Surely with God no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no mind has perceived that which God has in store for them that love him.

    God picks up the pieces and builds something bigger and better than before. Surely with Hod no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no mind has perceived that which God has in store for them that love him.

  18. Beaten but not crushed is a true reflection of overcoming adversity. It helps people come out of pity parties and be sure that situations are never permanent.
    Pamella is a true definition of God’s deliverance of those that have lost hope.

  19. Pam. you have unreservedly poured out your experience to support other women who could be going through the same situation. Your journey restores hope and gives assurance. May God continue to guide you and use you in this special ministry.

  20. Pamela shares in such a raw and vulnerable way. She speaks of struggles and adversity that we are all familiar with in some kind of way either through our own experiences or through someone else’s experience. This sharing allows us all to have deeper compassion for those facing similar struggles and allows us to feel and think through our own experiences. Reading this book once is not enough, I recommend minimum three times. Each time you will unlock a depth in your own life and tap into new reserves of hope and resilience as an overcomer. You will unlock a desire to be set free and to support for other people on their journey. Thank you so much Pamela.

  21. Style of this book writing is spot on. Her story flows very well and is inspiring!
    I love it and I recommend everyone to read it!
    Well done Pamella

  22. I read this book in one sitting….It was that gripping! Pamela, thank your for sharing your story…thank you for being vulnerable but most of all thank you for reminding us to always hold on to God’s promises. It might not always workout according to our plans but God’s got a better plan and He’s got us…always!

  23. Pamela is a true example of Beaten and Not Crushed. Someone who has allowed God to use her adversity to better other women. This book tells her story and reminds each one that what you are facing is not final. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. Reminds me of the scripture; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. I am blessed to do life with Pamela and watch her rise from the ashes like a Phoenix. Most importantly God is working through her to impact lives one woman at a time.

  24. After reading Pamela’s book,I learnt to stand up for myself not matter what am going through
    I stopped feeling pity on myself and keep my head raised up high

  25. You would not believe this story until you meet Pamela. A living embodiment of strength and resilience and that no one can stay down once they have the will to come up

  26. Very touching story with many lessons fir mothers and young girls. Whereas you may be well prepared to walk through this world, you are bound to meet and interact with many unprepared personalities. You need to wait on God and seek counsel and support in time. Challenging story that parents need to read. Are you that in law that is so inconsiderate and unkind. Are that husband that forgets the first love so easily to consider your partner as worthless.
    So many checks to consider against life realities. May God change the story for Pamela the authentic author

  27. Pamela’s story is the real meaning of beauty for ashes. It gives me hope that no matter what I go through, I will overcome

  28. I speak as a benefactor of Auntie Pamela’s dedicated love and commitment to helping the broken and the hopeless. When I was at my wits end, the guardian angel in auntie Pam pulled me out, breathed new life into me and guided me through my path to excellence in school and career. To see this heart of gold manifest on paper presents an opportunity for someone else to be encouraged that there’s hope despite life’s never ending surprises.

  29. These pages spell what I have come to believe is the true spirit of African Women, and they never ceasing ambition to make it in life.

    A must read for every woman, whether successful or not, faced with life’s challenges or not.

  30. To imagine one person can go through all that and still come out not crushed its amazing and gives hope to many. Pam paints a picture of how she triumph over, and using her story to teach and help those that would be going through the same trauma.

  31. This book breathes life into the hopeless. It’s that message that no matter what you have been through, you can live through it! Thanks Pam for sharing your story! A true inspiration. It’s ok not to be ok….your story is your testament…. We are human and everything happens for a reason.

  32. When I read beaten but not crushed by Pamela Babirukamu, I realized that God will always spare His people and Him alone knows how he will extract His purpose out of them despite the circumstances they have passed through on earth.The fact in that book is that Pamela was too innocent to go through that experience but the truth is that it was a devine training to restore the wounded souls.

  33. Living Martyr is an understatement!
    Thanks Queen Pamela for reminding us that our struggles can only be stepping stones to greater horizons, if we chose so.

  34. Society today celebrates an easy life, and eventually degenerates into hedonism. When the first couple were placed in the Garden.of Eden, they had a responsibility to work and subdue the earth. This is the exact opposite of an easy life.

    Many a time, hardships are cast in an extremely negative light. And who can blame this sentiment. No body relishes suffering. Nonetheless a diamond is only formed after millennia of extreme pressure in the ground. And gold increases value when it is refined after intense heat.

    Pamela wrote this book after she went through the furnace. Anyone who knows Pamela will attest to her deep faith and exuberant cheerful character. I daresay she wouldbt be this intense beacon of hope and encouragemebt if she hadn’t gone through hell and lived to tell the story.

    I highly recommend this book for those going through their personal ‘refiners fire’ journey and for those who have been there and needed to know that others have been there as well. Like Elijah one sometimes needs a timely reminder that YOU’RE NOT ALONE

  35. Beaten But Not Crushed was one of the most inspirational books I have ever read on overcomimg adversity.

    Pam was honest and vulnerable about her struggles, which engages the reader.

    With God’s help, Pam climbed from VICTIM to VICTOR.

    Pam is inspiring countless women to be overcomer through Bettendorf But Not Crushed. .

  36. Beaten not crushed teaches us that no matter how hard life hits you, cry if you need to, but no matter what get up and keep moving forward.
    There’s victory in not giving up.

  37. Indeed Pamela shares a story that does not define her Divine Destiny!!! God does! and thankfully, she moved by Faith and has beaten the ODDS squarely! I recommend the book to those who feel that their challenges are unique to them and that there is no way out! Pamela is a living Testimony that there is HOPE in adversity.

  38. Pamela I love how vulnerable you were in this book, Beaten but not crashed. You helped us see that truly life doesn’t end with tribulations…but that with God’s help, we can heal, get up, carry our mats and move on to a more purposeful life…no pain is wasted! Thank you for sharing your story

  39. That Pam Book must be a must-read basing on the readership comments. It is a real Amazon full of anacondas, vipers and boomerangs of all colors. Like puff-adders_The nicer they seem (with glittering colors) the deeper they bite fatally. Life despite its cherished naturality is just fully-filled with Amazonian crawling creatures.

  40. A captivating reminder that no matter what the circumstances are that are weighing you down and how many times you may fall, it is in the getting up and not giving in that counts for so much more. Therein is where our legacy and the overflow of us shines through. Thank you Pam for tangibly bringing this to life through your amazing journey portrayed in this awesome book.

  41. Oh my oh, I can’t remember the last time I read a book without putting it down. This is what bravery looks like. Yes the world can throw everything at you but it certainly can not keep you down. Choosing how you respond is everything and feeling sorry for yourself is an option you can’t afford to take. We all have this inner strength in us. Pam, Thanks abunch for the lessons and the reminders that we are all wonderfully and fearfully made and that we are stronger than we know. Blessings

    1. Beaten not crushed book bring hope to that woman feels like its the end and nothing nolong makes any sense to her and she fears being judged by keeping every thing to herself.
      Resiliense and favour from God is all seen in the book. # Reading is a must by every one#

  42. The book spoke about the often unspoken, the candle out into the light.
    The book was captivating couldn’t put the book down, deeply engrossing , pure and honest to the bone.

  43. Pamela’s story is a story of hope and an encouragement to everybody that there is no trial too great that God cannot see us through to the other side. The Lord surely does work it all out for our good.

  44. I read Beaten not crushed and could not put it down until I finished the book. A captivating story of inner strength, deep resolve and unmatched courage. With life throwing one curved ball after another in Pamela’s direction, she wades on through life, sometimes dragging her feet but still moving forward somehow. The book is an easy read, details life challenges with honesty and candor making it a “hope giving” read. Whether it’s a family, personal or work challenge one is going through, this book will give you hope to keep pushing on. There is hope! What greater encouragement do we need?

  45. Beaten Not Crushed! Is a true reflection of how we are hard pressed on every side but not crushed. Pamela painfully lays it all for any woman to relate to her adversity and find ways of bouncing back. This is not what expected life could throw at her. Having been raised in a beautiful christian family. This is not the kind of life she expected from a God she had served all her life. Through bitterness and frustration, she discoveres great truths that elude many of us. Through her pain she found her purpose and she has passionately helped many deal with their own Woundedness and thrive! This is a great read, encouraging and extremely relatable for any woman from all walks of life. Thank you Pamela!

    1. Beaten but crushed by Pamela Babirukamu just made me stronger. My lesson from the whole story is; However much we are put down by life characters we shouldn’t feel drained there’s still light at the end of the tunnel.

  46. Who determines your standards for feminity? Who says women never fail? Who says it is hard to be a woman of color and you just need to suck it in and be strong? So many issues in such a small volume. I love this book for being a very tickling story.

  47. When I read Beayen Not Crushed, Pam\s vi;nerability in sharing her story comes out so strong yet at the same time shows such a strength of character. Yes, she was beaten down, as many of us have been by life and yet she glows with the hopefor a better tomorrow. Suddenly, I saw the loss of my child, a really good job, my partner and eviction through the eyes of a victor and not a victim. Thank you, Pam, for bringing healing and restoration into my life.

  48. When I finished reading “Beaten not crushed”a book by #PamelaBabirukamu, I couldn’t put myself together after this experience.
    A perfectly raised girl steps into the world to follow her dreams only to meet the ‘devil’ himself and all his cousins😒…she is flabbergasted, thunderstruck, stupefied,dazed, astonished and bowled over.She is not the type of girl who will give up….she raises through the brouhaha and bounces back in admonishment ready to find her purpose in life.
    Pamela is buoyant, boisterous, ebullient, inexorable, rigorous, tenacious and unstoppable.She has found her purpose and calling and she is ready to roll with a strong belief in God.
    God is not man that he should lie….. Pamela you are destined for greatness and you will change lives.
    This is a must read 💯

    1. Beaten but not crashed is a remarkable story of how life turns out the very opposite of what one dreamt of. It is a story of great strength. This book written in simple English for all to understand, is truly lifting. It teaches us about the untapped resilience inside each one of us. It teaches us hope and new beginnings. Thank you Pam for allowing us to learn from your affliction and triumphs all in one story. Young women and men as well as adults, this is a book for you. It prepares you for life and the celebration of it.
