Journey to Heal

A path of hope and healing for survivors of childhood sexual abuse A woman who was sexually abused as a child is confronted with many internal questions: Am I worthless? How can I move past the hurt? Do I matter to God? These and similar questions can carve a deep hole in an already wounded soul. Too often, the lies of worthlessness are believed, the pain becomes too much to handle, and victims find themselves making choices that lead to more heartbreak. With over 42 million survivors (both male and female) in the United States alone, the need for healing is enormous. There is no simple formula for that healing, but Crystal Sutherland--herself a survivor of childhood sexual abuse--argues that essential steps to be taken can be found in Scripture. Journey to Healis a guided study through those seven steps for adult female survivors who want to progress from simply coping with life and want instead to live abundantly. Sutherland writes candidly and openly from her personal journey of healing. Her experience has earned her the right to speak as a friend to other survivors and to offer answers to some of their deepest questions. She deliberately avoids the detailed description that can be a hurtful triggering incident for victims, instead focusing on the importance of moving forward with recovery. The book is infused with biblical truths, stories of hope from other survivors, and practical wisdom to carry on the journey to healing.
