The first book for Christians which helps adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse grieve the loss of childhood innocence, cope with the unique spiritual issue of trust, and rebuild their lives through self-esteem. Chapters introduce one of the individuals in a small support group of women who have gathered to grieve their childhood losses while supporting each other toward emotional and spiritual recovery. Beginning with the premise that sexual abuse destroys the safety and trust needed for successful adult relationships, the group provides a confidential place for delving into painful memories, splitting off from one's true identity and how to embrace one's spiritual longings. The book comes out of VISTA (Victims of Incest Support Through Awareness) programme, initiated by Midge Finley at the Evangelical Free Church in Fullerton, California. (Taken from Amazon)
