LONGWOOD, FL-If you've ever been deceived, rejected, or hurt by someone you love and trust, you know the devastation it can cause in a life. When that hurt is caused by marital infidelity or sexual abuse, it feels like the bottom has fallen out of your life. In her book Out of the Miry Clay ($23.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-247-0; $35.99, hardcover, 978-1-60477-248-7) Rev. Monita Dukhia chronicles her own experience of restoration, as well as her experiences walking with those who are so affluent they have no perception of how wretched human life can be and those who are so wretched they hope to die to escape their sufferings. Today she devotes all her time to reaching others for Christ, but there was a time when her life was troubled and peace eluded her.
"I was betrayed, abused, deceived, used, and cheated on by my spouse, fellow ministers, and family," says Dukhia. "I was rejected and walked in the wilderness alone. I was stripped of my finances and sued for all that I had left. When there was no reason to live, Christ gave me one! When I refused to press onto the mark of the prize of the higher calling in God, Christ carried me. Anyone who takes the time to read my book will have their faith strengthened, their hope renewed, and their lives, spirit, and emotions healed!"
An evangelist who has ministered on a global basis for more than a decade, Dukhia has worked extensively with abused people, especially women and children, in developing countries. Because she has suffered through mental, physical, sexual, emotional, and spiritual abuse, she is better able to minister to others and is an effective witness for Christ. In Out of the Miry Clay, her astounding testimony of Christ's love, mercy, grace, and healing power will infuse readers with the restoration, renewal, and healing they crave.
