LONGWOOD, FL"There is abundant literature, written from Christian and other spiritual perspectives, that specifies why forgiveness results in improved physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. What makes Forgiving Others and Trusting God: A Handbook for Survivors of Child Abuse ($23.99, paperback, 978-1-61215-614-9; $9.99, eBook, 978-1-61215-960-7)"a new book from Xulon Press author J.E. Norris-Bernal"unique, however, is that it deals strictly with survivors of child abuse and the profound ways in which they are affected for life without some type of intervention. Learning to forgive, healing from abuse, and finding intimacy with God are three processes that are difficult, if not impossible, for most survivors of child abuse to experience. But within the pages of this book, the author outlines the ultimate solutions for healing and how to realize true intimacy with God the Father.
?"I hope readers will take the extremely practical tools in the book, utilize them, and find healing from their great pain and the intimacy with the Lord for which their hearts have been yearning,” the author says. ?"For child abuse survivors stuck in the healing process, the personal accounts of abuse suffered and forgiveness granted and the practical steps they can take to forgive others and learn to trust God will be invaluable.”
Norris-Bernal, who herself was a victim of child abuse, says she survived and thrived due to the Lord’s healing in her life. She has included her own testimony of healing as a Romans 8:28 example of being able to ?"…comfort others with the comfort with which we are comforted” (2 Cor. 1:4). Additionally, her experience as a marriage and family therapist for more than two decades has equipped her to deal at length with this difficult topic.
