Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a testimony of what GOD can do with one's life. I'm so glad for the experience of the power of a new life made complete by being healed and delivered from my past pain. So this is for all the wounded. I need to say to you that you can come through no matter how long it takes; just don't give up. The chains can be broken, and the journey of this book came from a place of shame and pain and disappointments; living with being sexually abused of any kind is a dark, dark place. And the fear of others not believing you is overwhelming. The fear of the abuser's word being believed over the word of the abused is indescribable especially when you are a child and having to go to foster home after foster home became a dread; one never knew how long you would be there or if you would be accepted or how you would be treated. I thank GOD for all the angels""I like to call them""that He placed in my path along my journey. What a journey this has been and still is. Be blessed on your journey.

Download or read book Breaking Chains written by Alfred M. Flett and published by Word Alive Press. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting the Captives Free After suffering with suicidal thoughts and addictions for many years, Alfred Flett found himself back in the very church he’d attended as a child. Christianity wasn’t practised in his home, but he was made to attend Sunday school, where he heard the life-changing words of John 3:16. But he eventually dropped out of Sunday school and never returned to church until he was an adult. The path he chose left him a broken young man, and life seemed hopeless. He tried self-help techniques like psychology and counselling, but nothing seemed to help. His need went beyond the physical and emotional. He was running away from his Creator who had made him for a purpose. Have you ever asked yourself: Why am I here? Who created me? What’s my purpose? Alfred found the answer in the person of Jesus Christ. He filled the spiritual vacuum in his life, and He can do the same for you!

Download or read book For Your Own Good written by Alice Miller and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2002-11-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Your Own Good, the contemporary classic exploring the serious if not gravely dangerous consequences parental cruelty can bring to bear on children everywhere, is one of the central works by Alice Miller, the celebrated Swiss psychoanalyst. With her typically lucid, strong, and poetic language, Miller investigates the personal stories and case histories of various self-destructive and/or violent individuals to expand on her theories about the long-term affects of abusive child-rearing. Her conclusions—on what sort of parenting can create a drug addict, or a murderer, or a Hitler—offer much insight, and make a good deal of sense, while also straying far from psychoanalytic dogma about human nature, which Miller vehemently rejects. This important study paints a shocking picture of the violent world—indeed, of the ever-more-violent world—that each generation helps to create when traditional upbringing, with its hidden cruelty, is perpetuated. The book also presents readers with useful solutions in this regard—namely, to resensitize the victimized child who has been trapped within the adult, and to unlock the emotional life that has been frozen in repression.

Download or read book Chains Can Be Broken written by Betty Wilson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story (my story) written to prove that healing is possible for all Victims of abuse; for an abuser, forgiveness can also be found if they admit their crime and ask to be forgiven. This book is not a plea for sympathy. My goal is awareness and anger. Yours and mine at the chain of injustice and destruction brought on by any abuse. Without healing, generations will suffer the effects of ONE act of child abuse. Our anger united and properly channeled can bring about positive changes. Chains Can Be Broken is for anyone who has, or is acquainted with someone who has lived through the chaos of abuse; physical, mental, sexual, spiritual and substance, spiraled to the depths of hell to which these things led to finally emerge into the world of sanity, reality and light. Today's child abuse and sexual assault laws are merely a slap on the wrist for the abuser. The abused are sentenced to life imprisoned in their violated mind and body watching their identity slowly fade away. These laws tell the victim's that what happened to them is acceptable in the eyes of the law.
