Customer Reviews

This is the book that helped change my Life.
My faith in God, belief in Jesus Christ, THIS BOOK, and a good Christian therapist gave me the healing I needed. If you are a Christian and want sound, biblical guidance towards healing I highly recommend this book. I found my healing working through the steps Jan lines out about 10 years ago. I gave my copy of the book to someone I met who was struggling as I had. Everyone's timetable is different, some may only need a short time, others longer. It is my sincere belief that working these particular steps are key to being successfull in dealing with childhood abuse. I worked around one step a week. My therapist helped guide me through the processes. I had to keep working on some areas that I especially had trouble with, in all about 6 months worth. I became a BRAND NEW Person with all the attributes I always wanted but couldn't attain. I am re-buying the book to review so that I can help others find the person they were created to be. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Best book of all on the subject
Of all the Christian recovery books, this is the most helpful on this particular subject matter. Not only does it contain everything the other books have, it covers additional pertinent topics other books leave out. One will find the author speaks only as someone could speak who has personally suffered such abuse. Jan Frank offers a handle to grab as her words become a healing balm to the soul in its journey to recovery. This book restores one's heart, mind, and emotions to a proper perspective on life and boundaries in relationships.

Lacking Hope
If you're looking for a quick fix to such a complex form of abuse, this is not the book to read. However this book does bring forth some insight into incestuous molestation and there are exercises given to help you through the steps. The book is all Christian based which is fine, however I do not believe all can be improved in the life of a victim by reading scriptures, I feel it takes a lot more. The writer does recommend personal therapy along with the Bible. I am aware there is no quick form of healing, but I do not believe it has to take as long as the writer says. I also realize everyone is different and time does vary for each individual. I think my biggest disappointment of this book is the fact it does evolve around her and each scenario brings us back to the writer. Understandable but it does get boring. But that is not a negative for the writer. I would guess this book and writing it was a big part of her healing and for that I am glad it worked for her. As another critic wrote I too believe there are far better books that will assist one in this form of abuse.
