Turning Away From the Counterfeit Life
Exposing the Enemy’s Tactics and the War Being Waged Over Your Choices
You were created for a life of power, peace, and purpose—authored by God Himself.
But what if the life you’re living isn’t the one He wrote for you?
In Turning Away From the Counterfeit Life, Ann Bernard sounds a clarion call to the Body of Christ: the enemy has been subtly stealing, distorting, and derailing lives through deception, distraction, and disguised lies. And he’s been doing it not through one dramatic decision—but through the slow erosion of everyday choices.
Drawing from personal experiences, spiritual revelation, and the transformative power of storytelling, this book walks you through:
- Real-life and fictional scenarios of believers caught in spiritual compromise
- The key choices we all face that either lead to obedience or open the door to deception
- The enemy’s tactics that manipulate identity, relationships, thoughts, and faith
- The counterfeit outcomes that masquerade as wisdom, maturity, or survival
- The areas of salvation being undermined and the spiritual inheritance being forfeited
- Faith in action practices to reclaim truth, restore identity, and walk in freedom
- Biblical areas of study to deepen discernment and spiritual authority
This is not just a book about getting your life back on track—it’s about waking up to the war being waged over your heart, your mind, your relationships, and your calling. It’s a guide for those who are ready to turn from what looks right but feels empty, and return to the life God intended.
Because the enemy doesn’t need to destroy you—he just needs to keep you distracted, discouraged, or deceived long enough for you to settle for less.
Don’t settle.
Turn away from the counterfeit—and live the life only God could author.
