This book is a call to action. Let's take back our families, our churches, and our lives We can't change the church itself, but we can allow God to change us. We can be the change we want to see. So many of us have been hurt and believe we will always be trapped in the dungeon of our pain. But there is genuine healing and hope in Christ. Even the most horrible abuse can be healed and redeemed. This is the story of one woman's journey from the depths of sexual and emotional abuse to healing and freedom in Christ. Her healing and recovery were delayed and complicated by brokenness within the church and its leaders. She explores this experience and uncovers for herself and for others what was really needed to be transformed. She talks about how we can avoid making the same mistakes with others. As she finds Christ, she explains the steps she took to gain freedom from self-defeating thought patterns and behaviors. She gives practical steps that can be used to find freedom in our minds and hearts and overcome the lies of fear, depression, addiction, and trauma.The church was created to be the Body of Christ, a safe haven, as it works in His name to extend healing, grace, forgiveness, and freedom to survivors of a broken and desolate world. But we're often too concerned with how we look and what people will think about us to be honest about our struggles. Let's get real about our pain and our injuries and find ways to dig deeper and run the race with endurance. Life is a battle and this book arms us for that struggle. Every day, people are straining to carry the agony of PTSD, abandonment, emotional and sexual abuse, loss, loneliness, and rejection. What we all need is grace, understanding, and support. It's easy to get so caught up with the image of the church and the reputation of its leaders that we minimize or overlook the truth of what's going on inside and the damage we're doing. When we first look in the mirror to remove the planks from our own eyes then we can see clearly to help others with the specks in theirs. This book is inspiration and encouragement to seek salvation and hope in Jesus Christ so He can rebuild our hearts and minds in His image with Him as our firm foundation. This is a story of salvation and redemption. The pain of this broken world can leave our souls shattered into pieces, but Jesus is our Savior, our Knight in Shining Armor, willing and able to bind up our broken hearts and teach us how to put on the Armor of God.
