“My decision to tell my story to the Royal Commission’, she says, ‘not only initiated a personal journey of deeper healing but also provided the raw material for God to work with and what I needed to begin writing this book.”
ENDORSEMENTS
“One of the most important books to have been written in a time of intense scrutiny and dark and disturbing exposure for the church. It is an account of personal courage and gracious spirit, and a story of remarkable faith. It is a book full of invitation, of possibility and of hope.”
“I share a vision that no-one should journey in sorrow without hope. ‘Child, Arise!’ offers hope: it lifts the shame of child sexual abuse from ‘victims’ and presents practical encouragement for ways to access light, vitality and insight in the darkest of times, when suffering seems unending.”
“An emerging capacity for reflection is integral to trauma recovery. ‘Child, Arise!’ uses biblical language to anchor reflection and yet its genesis in lived experience renders this book potentially useful even to those whose faith has been devastated by abuse by clergy.”
“This spiritual handbook is welcome, constructive and unique. Here we have a broad range of specifically chosen, biblically based, powerful prayerful reflections enabling the survivor, of any age and circumstance, to tap into their spiritual selves, perhaps long muted.”
“This is a book by a victim of sexual abuse for other victims, someone who has spent countless hours meditating on the scriptures and applying them to her situation. It is an abundant source of consolation and inspiration, not just for victims but for the whole community.”
