A treasure for victims/survivors December 16, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is indeed a treasure for victims/survivors. In the narrative portions, the author speaks succinctly and honestly about the effects of sexual abuse on the formation of one's faith and relationship with God. Catherine Foote is an ordained minister, and she speaks as one within the Christian tradition critiquing that tradition. Her critical voice is tempered with an obvious love for the church and a desire to integrate religion and spirtuality for the abused and those who have compassion for the abused.
Each prayer was a new "ah ha" moment for me. Rev. Foote's prayers speak to the depths of pain, sorrow, grief, betrayal, hope, resurrection, and grace experienced by victims/survivors of sexual abuse. Her prayer regarding forgiveness is worth more than the price of the book.
This book is a must-read for victims/survivors, clergy, compassionate people of faith, and espeially for victims/survivors who have considerd leaving or who have left the church fearing their safety.
A real gem! March 16, 2000
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book has been an extremely important book to me in my healing journey. I found it at a time when I couldn't even find the words to talk to God, and as I opened the book and read a prayer, it was as if the thoughts were coming directly from my own heart. The narrative reflections on the healing process is insigthful. The variety of prayers from different persons and for differing occasions is very helpful. I highly recommend this book.
A gift for the wounded and searching spirit November 10, 1998

This book is a grace-filled gift for surviors who are seeking to connect with God. Both the reflections and the prayers validate the wound yet free the imagination to soar to the source of healing and wholeness. I highly recommend this book!
