From An Abusive Childhood And The Depths Of Suicidal Despair To A life Of Hope And Freedom
Sarah Shaw looked in control of her life. She had a
successful career as a manager in retail business. But she came to a
point when she could no longer keep up appearances, by controlling her
tormented inner world. So explosive was her inner pain, and so damaged
was she by the consequences of childhood abuse, that she was eventually
put on a lifetime's incapacity benefit. Her consultant psychiatrist was
at a loss how to help. This story is not, however, about the horrors of
abuse, but is an extraordinary testimony to the triumph of God's healing
love.
The author writes: "So many abused, hurting people don't
understand their brokenness. They are stuck, as I was, in the tormenting
symptoms of guilt, self-hatred, multiple fears, depression, Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder, eating disorders, self-harming and suicidal
tendencies. The book gives insights into the Christian healing ministry I
received and offers hope to victims of abuse, without negating the
reality of the desperate inner conflicts and struggles."
"This
remarkable book is about true recovery of health by a deeply wronged
woman, whom I met more than ten years ago. Rarely is this subject
written about, and even more uncommonly in Sarah's calm and thoughtful
way." Dr Geoff Searle MBBS. BSc. FRCPsych (Sarah's Pychiatrist)
"A
profound and moving story - it struck me that despite such harrowing
experiences the human spirit can be so resilient and triumphant." Dr
Adrian Hutchings MBBS. (Sarah's GP)
"So many people around the world
have been abused, and often their pain is muffled by secrecy. Thankfully
the woman who wrote this book has decided to expose her pain to the
light of Jesus Christ. By doing so she has found total healing - and I
believe her decision to share her painful secret with the world will
help many other abused people find complete emotional recovery." J. Lee
