Editorial Reviews

I don't run out of words very often, but now is one of those times. This is just about the most moving book of any kind I have ever read. The awfulness of the events is retold so sensitively, and yet cannot mask the darkness of one man's inhumanity to countless vulnerable men and women. Even more remarkable, however, is the clear and gentle testimony to the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in the middle of the most unspeakable suffering. That's what makes this an unforgettably hopeful book

Principal Queensland Theological College - Garry Millar

Jason Summers has given us a great gift in this book. He not only unfolds the horrors of abuse and moral injury with care and deep compassion, but points us in the direction of true hope, and the power of forgiveness in Christ. His very personal account of his parents' trials is a reflection of the true state of things, deep depravity redeemed by abundant grace

Bishop of Tasmania - Dr Richard Condie

So many familiar people and places, Prince Henry, Crown Street, Chelmsford, Campsie, Matron Shaw, the persistently faithful Derrick and Margaret Summers. I couldn't put this little hope filled book down! How refreshing that at a time of increasing awareness of mental illness a story of God's powerful undeserved favour like this one exists. God bless the Summers family, what a blessing they are to all who have the privilege of knowing them'
