Through The Fire Spiritual Resoration For Adult Victims Of Childhood Sexual Abuse Rick Meyer 9780806651323 Books Reviews

• This book relates to abuse and how the victim has to have closure with the predator so I felt this book explained it well and gave good insights in this area.
• I ordered this book to learn how I might help someone dealing with sexual abuse. It was extremely helpful, and written in a way that helped me to learn how different hearts require different methods of healing from such devastation.
• "Meyer shows how the cross can be a significant emblem for adult victims of childhood sexual abuse--their source of courage, comfort, and transformation. He relates how Jesus becomes an experienced guide who can and will assist them in their journey toward renewal. As a pastoral counselor, the author has helped survivors of abuse discover the path to spiritual renewal and healing. At first, many see God as having failed to protect them. Yet, as they begin to see how Jesus was rejected and tormented, they come to understand that only a God who knows pain and death can provide regeneration and fullness of life. Using case study examples, Meyer demonstrates effective methods of assisting adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse to experience deep spiritual healing."
• This is more than a book. It's a companion. Thank you for this beautiful gift!
• It is more than a bit upsetting to find one of the only books that, with it's title, claims to offer a melding of sexual abuse healing and spiritual restoration, yet instead is mired in religious exclusivity. Christianity, of course - should I be even a bit surprised? JC was a great man/prophet/godling/*insert favored belief here*, but the last time I checked, "spirituality" does not mean Christian exclusivity. It's sad, really, that the author chose to use the very misleading words, "through the fire" and "spirituality," when more accurate phrasing might have been "bearing the cross" and "religious." Many survivors of sexual and ritual abuse are constantly questioning their worthiness to even exist on this planet with those that have not been "spoiled." (The hurtful voices within would use that word; the truth would not.) Those of us that are also dealing with the prejudices of a society that favors one religion over all others and views anyone with differing beliefs as "misled" will never find restoration, spiritual or otherwise, in a book such as this.
