The Shackles are Broken
God if you love me don't let him get in here tonight. I could not have imagined twelve words impacting someones life as they did mine that night. I laid there crying, not because I was being raped once again, but because God had just told me in no uncertain terms, that HE did not love me. The abusers told me how worthless I was. The church and school told me how worthless I was. My entire life I felt nothing but used and no good. This book is about surviving childhood sexual abuse in addition to religious abuse. I was part of an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church which further validated the feelings of worthlessness. I try to take you from the negative side of the entire situation to the positive side that was so difficult to finally find. I was abused and taken advantage of by numerous individuals and left to deal with the storm that was to follow. In sharing my story I want to hopefully help others find the freedom that was purchased on the cross. We are free through the finished work of the cross and it is time to run out of that prison cell. The truth in the Bible is not always the way it is presented in some churches. I grew so weary of the almost narcissistic chants spewed out of the mouth of supposed well-meaning Christians. I sat in the church and just became further wounded due to certain verses presented completely out of context. My goal in this book is to help someone find healing, freedom, and assurance that you are loved by the one who created you
