Breaking the Chains by Laurie Ishii (Author) 
 
Rev, Larry Russi's Review: 
Jesus Came to Set the Captive Free
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025
My good friend and dear sister in Christ, Laurie Ishii, has written a powerful book about her life as she traveled to hell and back. All the time whether she was serving the Lord or a prodigal daughter she was aware of God's presence. As the psalmist wrote, “If I make my bed in hell, you are there.”
The title of her book says it all and will give hope to not only the drug addict or the prostitute, but to all that are in bondage who are looking to be set free. Laurie clearly shows that Jesus can and will set free all that look to Him for salvation and deliverance.
She bares her soul and holds nothing back as she takes the reader through the harsh realities of what addiction can do to a soul.
Laurie writes so powerfully that you'll feel that you are present with her in the streets and hospitals.
Completely set free by the power of God Laurie is serving the Lord and ministering to those who are where she used to be. The parks, streets, Skid Row, and wherever she is directed by the Holy Spirit.
Quoting the psalmist again she can now say “If I go up to heaven, You are there” and she is fulfilling her favorite scripture, “I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done. Psalm 118:17
