In an era where storytelling is often shaped by algorithms, commercial appeal, and fleeting trends, Sarah Dickens emerges as a rare and resonant voice—one guided not by market demands, but by divine calling. Her writing does not merely tell stories; it bears witness. Rooted deeply in faith, vulnerability, and spiritual obedience, Sarah has become one of the most compelling Christian memoirists of her generation, offering readers something increasingly rare: truth without pretense.
Sarah’s journey to authorship did not begin with sudden acclaim or literary ambition. It began quietly, almost prophetically, in a kindergarten classroom. When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, while others named professions of practicality, Sarah answered with unwavering certainty: “I want to be an author.” It was not a casual childhood dream—it was a declaration.
Soon after, she wrote and illustrated her first children’s book, A Rewarding Night, planting the earliest seeds of a destiny that would unfold years later. Throughout her school years, her writing stood out. Teachers read her essays aloud, recognizing a depth and emotional maturity beyond her age. Though life would later lead her into other professional paths, the calling never faded—it simply waited.
Before stepping fully into her role as an author, Sarah served as a news editor for Atlanta Christian Voice from 2017 to 2022. The position sharpened her discipline, strengthened her voice, and refined her storytelling craft. More importantly, it prepared her spiritually. Through prayer and discernment, she eventually sensed God calling her to leave stability behind and step boldly into authorship—an act of faith that would define her next chapter.
In February 2022, Sarah released her first Christian memoir, A Victory Song: Beneath the Veil. The book marked the beginning of her career as a full-time author and the unveiling of a powerful, Spirit-led series. What was initially planned as a trilogy soon evolved into something much greater. Through prayer, Sarah understood that A Victory Song was meant to be an ongoing series—one that would grow alongside her healing and spiritual maturity.
To date, the series includes A Victory Song: Beneath the Veil (2022) and A Victory Song: Thoughts of Peace (2025), with two forthcoming titles—Thoughts of Power and Declarations of Light—currently in progress. Alongside these works, Sarah is also creating her first illustrated children’s book, She Walks With Jesus, featuring artwork drawn by her own hand, revealing a rare fusion of literary and artistic gifting.
At the heart of Sarah’s work lies a mission both courageous and compassionate: bridging the gap between faith and mental health. Through her memoirs, she speaks openly about living with bipolar disorder, grappling with self-image, enduring deep despair, and surviving suicidal thoughts. She does so without shame, choosing instead radical honesty anchored in faith.
Her message challenges long-standing stigmas within faith communities. Sarah boldly affirms that prayer and professional mental health care are not opposites, but partners. “It is okay to seek help,” she reminds readers. “It is okay to see a counselor, to be hospitalized, and to call on Jesus through all of it.” Her vulnerability transforms her writing into ministry—offering hope to those who feel unseen or misunderstood.
Stylistically, Sarah’s voice is raw, fearless, and unfiltered. She writes with emotional transparency, inviting readers into hospital rooms, prayer closets, valleys of doubt, and moments of divine breakthrough. Her wounds are not hidden; they are offered as testimony. Readers do not simply consume her books—they walk alongside her, finding their own healing reflected in her pages.
Unlike authors driven by rigid publishing timelines, Sarah follows the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Ideas arrive during ordinary moments—on bus rides, during walks, or while journaling—and she captures them faithfully, trusting divine timing over human strategy. For her, writing is worship. It is obedience. It is partnership with God.
A major milestone in her journey came with the release of A Victory Song: Thoughts of Peace in August 2025. Written over three years, the book chronicles her path toward restoration, including time spent in psychiatric hospitals and the slow, sacred process of healing. It stands as a testament to resilience, grace, and the peace that faith can bring even in life’s darkest moments.
As Sarah Dickens looks toward the future, her calling remains clear. With each page she writes, she continues to shine God’s light—inviting readers into honesty, healing, and hope. Her journey is not simply about books. It is about purpose. And it is only just beginning.
