Title addresses negative behavioral repercussions of childhood abuse

2010-01-22

LONGWOOD, FL--Childhood abuse is a perpetual sin many Christian victims deny, bury, or are not consciously aware of. It is a topic Satan has kept suppressed primarily through fear and shame within each victim. In My Pastures of Many Colors, A Diverse Journey to Godly Healing ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-61579-537-6; $25.99, hardcover, 978-1-61579-538-3), Xulon Press author Ruth Heras addresses the secret, personal trauma she underwent that kept her in illness and spiritual bondage most of her life. Taking key information from her own childhood abuse--from negative behavioral repercussions occurring in her adult life and the lives of her marital family members, and from studies on emotional health--she intricately links the connection among the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual life of an injured person.

"[I hope readers learn] that probable childhood abuse could be behind any ungodly behavior or non-victorious Christian living a person may be experiencing," the author explains. "[I want them] to discover and understand the reasons behind the ill behavior or weaknesses resulted from childhood injury, that unveiling the lies and sins Satan set up behind such trauma can remove the mental and spiritual blocks to godly healing and stop the repeated sin cycles."

It was during the course of her Christian life that Heras discovered how emotional damage in childhood could block individuals from living normal adult lives, and ever since then she has had a burden for adults who were abused in their formative years. By route of her own personal abuse and its negative repercussions in her adult life, she was driven to study emotional damage and healing in-depth. "Christians need to know there is sufficient evidence today to prove its satanic origin," she says.
