I do tend to write lengthy reviews. In this case, though, there were just so many things to discuss. Thanks for dropping by.

I feel for victims of abuse, especially children. I pray that more progress will be made in finding the correct balance of medical, psychological and spiritual intervention needed to lead them to healing.
Thanks, Inaramid, for your thoughtful review!

The things that adults do to children--or to each other. There should really be a multidisciplinary approach in helping victims of abuse or trauma, but therapy should also be individualized according to the needs/characteristics/etc. of the person. I don't think there would ever be a universal, cure-all approach to healing psychological or spiritual wounds, but I do appreciate the book's efforts to help out a certain subset of those in need. Thank you for commenting!Miriam Molina wrote: โ26 Jan 2018, 16:16 I don't have the training to be able to gauge whether a book like this will be totally helpful or not. I do not qualify as an abused child, but I also experienced some trauma in my life (I envy those who are totally unscathed). I can say that counseling and prayer both make the coping easier.

Thanks, Maggie. It's part of the reason why I chose to read it. I do hope I see more that are in this field.

Thanks for dropping by, Eva! One of my major issues with the book is the loss of the psychological aspect of things. I just felt like it was a missed opportunity.Eva Darrington wrote: โ07 Feb 2018, 18:17 My degree is in transpersonal counseling psychology, which explores the interface and the overlap between psychology and spirituality. I have not read this book, but I like your writing so I stopped by. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in each point you make. I imagine I would feel similarly about this book. Thanks for another great review. I think I will skip this one.
Looking forward to your next review, and see you around in the forums.

I am a survivor of abuse, a majority of which was based in Christian organizations, and I find approaches and attitudes to abuse, by Christians, very interesting as I am a writer myself and am working on a comprehensive study of the subject, so this book is very relevant to me.
