Pastor Tom Barnhill Encourages Readers to Overcome Abuse with God's Strength

2018-01-25

MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Pastor Tom Barnhill’s new book, Growing Beyond Your Roots: A Personal Testimony of Hope, ($15.49, paperback, 9781498457767; $7.99, e-book, 9781498457774) readers will find the author’s story of abuse, neglect, and, finally, freedom in Christ. Raised by an alcoholic father and exasperated mother, Pastor Tom Barnhill escaped his horrible home life at the age of eighteen, choosing to fight the Vietcong in the US Army. The cycle of abuse continued through him, until his wife’s life-threatening response forced him to open his eyes: he needed Christ.

 

“People are struggling in an ever-changing world and need to know there is an anchor that will keep them moored to an unchanging God,” states the author. “If I can get that message out to them after all I have been through, they will see the light and the answer, which is Jesus Christ, and how HE can change their situations and circumstances. I want each reader to realize that life is sometimes too big for us to handle, but not for our Heavenly Father.

 

Pastor Tom Barnhill is a father and widower who is dedicated to helping others seek out God. He has shared his story to show others it is possible to rise above hurtful experiences with the help and love of God.
