Out of the Darkness is a deeply moving, powerfully personal testimony of one woman’s journey through the crushing darkness of depression into the blazing light of deliverance through Jesus Christ. Over the course of fourteen raw and revelatory chapters, LaBreeska tells the story of a spiritual battle that nearly claimed her life—but instead became the birthplace of breakthrough.

Even though she was a pastor's wife and the worship leader in her church, LaBreeska was haunted by despair and tormented by lies from the enemy, wrestling daily with mental torment, confusion, and hopelessness. Yet through every restless night, she clung to the faithful thread of hope that God was still near—even when He felt absent. What unfolded was not an instant fix or a fairytale resolution, but a two-year refining fire that tested every belief she held and eventually led to the miraculous moment when God’s voice shattered the silence with truth.

Out of the Darkness takes you inside the real battle—where faith is tested, sanity is pushed to its edge, and the fight to live isn’t poetic—it’s brutal. At the same time, this book is structured around twelve original songs that LaBreeska wrote during her darkest hours—songs that she never intended to write, but which became her lifeline. These “songs in the night” are not merely music; they are milestones on the road to recovery, each capturing a moment of wrestling, revelation, or release. With QR codes for listening to the music, accompanied by Scripture, prayer, and reflection, these chapters unfold as both a personal journal for one woman and a roadmap for others navigating similar valleys.

A few key themes explored throughout the book include:

• The spiritual roots of emotional torment and how to expose the lies of the enemy

• The silence of God and why He sometimes hides in the fire, wind, or stillness

• The importance of generational legacy and prophetic inheritance, illustrated through the LaBreeska’s personal family history

• The power of song, worship, and creative expression in personal deliverance

• The truth about depression: that it's not always gone with one prayer, but that total freedom is possible

• Spiritual warfare in real life—how to stand firm in your identity even when the storm doesn't stop

In the unforgettable final chapter, Another Irene, God visits LaBreeska in a moment of complete surrender. A song she had heard a thousand times suddenly opens her eyes, and God speaks a simple but life-altering word: “There was another Irene.” In that sacred encounter, she sees how her life is not isolated—it’s part of a divine generational plan. She receives the mantle passed down by her grandmother, accepts her calling, and says the three words that change everything: I choose life.
This book is not merely for those battling depression. It’s for anyone who has questioned their worth, wrestled with unseen forces, or wondered if their life truly matters. It’s for the discouraged, the misjudged, the misdiagnosed, and the misrepresented. But most of all, it’s for overcomers in the making.

Out of the Darkness is not just a personal testimony—it’s a manual for deliverance. LaBreeska doesn’t just tell her story; she hands you the tools to break your own chains. With spiritual insight, practical wisdom, and an honest, unfiltered voice, this book leads readers out of darkness and into the dawn of their true identity.
