A compassionate site written by a former abuse victim to encourage women and men who are recovering from abuse (child abuse, incest, spousal abuse, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, or religious abuse). The author views religious faith as integral to each persons experience of abuse and recovery from abuse. As a Christian, the author shares her hope and encourages others to seek help from Jesus Christ in the journey from abuse to thriving, from bondage to freedom, and from numbness to abundance.

Cheron SmallGod Bless You Tanya, I am an abuse victim that has decided to speak out against this crime. Childhood Sexual abuse and Molestation crosses over all ages, races, economic statuses and religions. I pray that as we continue on the journey to healing and restoration that you continue to find safety in the arms of Jesus and comfort in the Work of this great Ministry.
Tanya T. WarringtonThank you, Christine, for commenting on my blog.
It is amazing how many lies help trap abuse victims. As men and women seek God for truth, abusers lose their power to trick victims.You hit the mark when you wrote:
"Abuse is not of God. It's of the devil and evil."
God is love. Abuse is not love, it is sin that is full of deception, violation, and selfishness.
God bless your blogging,

Christine BeanGREAT SITE!!!
Especially loved today's post:
"How many times have sincere people crucified Christian victims of abuse by telling them that abuse must be “their cross” to bear? Far too many times.
It is a gross misrepresentation of scripture to tell others that abuse is a cross to heroically bear to prove their love to Christ."
Abuse is not of God. It's of the devil and evil.
Far too often people say, "it's our cross to bear." No, it's not! It's words like that that are the devil's deception.
Thanks for making others aware!
Blessings,
Christine Bean
