“For me, whenever I was sad or lonely I would drown out the world by listening to music it just seemed to do something to my soul. I was listening to my music and it seemed God was reaching out to me through the songs I would be listening to, at the time I was listening to Melissa Etheridge singing “I am the Only One”. This song speaks about wanting someone that looks good to you,” go on and hold her, hold her till she tells you nothing is wrong, but I will be the only one who walk across the fire for you, I will be the only one who will drown in my desire for you, when all your promises are gone I am the only one.”

ARPress is honored to publish This is My Song, This is My Story by Terrie L. Broom. This book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARPress website.
This is My Song, This is My Story tells the powerful and personal journey of a woman’s transformation from a life shaped by homosexuality and poverty to one of freedom. The book explores themes of redemption and God’s grace, detailing the author’s life before finding Jesus.
Terrie L. Broom shares her testimony of God’s grace and redemption, offering a transparent account of her life before embracing Jesus. She chronicles her journey from an identity rooted in homosexuality and poverty-driven thinking to a transformed life of faith and freedom.
What happens when everything you believe about yourself—your identity, relationships, and even your sexuality—is suddenly disrupted by an encounter with God? That was the challenging yet ultimately freeing experience for music lover Terrie Broom.
When her world was shaken by the unexpected, untimely death of her brother due to complications from AIDS, Terrie began searching for answers to her grief—leading to a miraculous encounter with God.
But her spiritual awakening came at a cost. Her long-term same-sex partner wasn’t willing to join her on this journey, and Terrie soon lost not only her beloved home, pets, and income but also many friends.
Facing profound grief, heartbreak, financial struggles, and loneliness, Terrie made the difficult choice to lean fully into her faith, no matter what. Through each season of her life, she gained valuable insights into God’s love—through devotional time, the support of godly people, and music that spoke to her struggles and encouraged her to keep walking in faith.
Part memoir, part devotional, and part homage to music’s transformative power, Terrie’s inspiring, open-hearted story is a testament to God’s ability to change lives. No matter what you’re going through, This is My Song, This is My Story is a powerful reminder that God’s grace is for everyone. You’ll be encouraged to trust, as Terrie did, that all things work together for good—and all for His glory.
