Jesus and JiuJitsu

“Even now, God’s ways still remain mysterious to me...”


Raiza Garcia, author of Jesus and Jiu Jitsu: The Rise of a Warrior of God, believes the Christian walk is the most exciting adventure one can embark on; read on to discover why. 


This Christian memoir reveals God’s presence in all life’s events. 


Inside, readers discover God in the midst of the storm…


“I found my life shattered into pieces. I was 8 weeks pregnant with a baby and tumor fighting for space in my uterus, a broken marriage on the brink of divorce, jobless, and sinking quickly into a dark suicidal depression.  Jesus came to my rescue. Through the journey of faith, professional counseling, and the gift of jiu jitsu, God has helped me rise from the ashes into a blessed season of co-parenting and walking in recovered virtue as a single mom on fire for the Lord.” 


Through Raiza’s fledgling, then growing Christian faith, God was there. Finally today, it is evident that God is there, through Raiza’s love of jiu jitsu and teaching at-risk children, which led her to use her platform to speak out against the horrors of sex trafficking, neglect, and other types of abuse that happen to children in the child welfare system. God is there, and He brings life to Raiza’s ministry endeavors as she uses her voice and community to help others. 


Readers will love this transparent memoir of a worldly, turbulent existence turned Christ-rooted life that beautifully weaves God moments into a transformed life. Raiza’s journey is a powerful testimony of grace and redemption.
