Raised & Redeemed
A True Story of Rescue, Redemption, and Repentance
From the strip club to the foot of the cross—discover how Jesus redeemed a life the world had written off.
Raised & Redeemed is the raw, redemptive memoir of Michaela Nikolaenko—a former party girl, New Ager, and exotic dancer who was born into generational addiction and brokenness.
Through abusive relationships, spiritual deception, and dark paths of identity-seeking, Michaela chased everything but the truth—until Jesus met her in the depths and called her home.
This memoir is a testimony of radical transformation and a call to those who’ve been to the dark side and back. If you're longing for healing, identity, and redemption, this book will show you that no one is too far gone.
