About the BookFaith can be shaken by trauma. Blaming GOD: A Victim’s Journey was born from that reality.
As a young teen, the author experienced abuse at the hands of an older man. The trial that ensued exonerated the perpetrator while leaving the victim condemned in the eyes of her community, sending her into a spiral of doubt in herself, in God, and in supposedly Christ-loving people. Why do some followers of Christ judge and deny their brothers and sisters? How do misrepresentations of Christianity harm victims? Why does a supposedly just society perpetuate the revictimization of abuse survivors? And what does the concept of free will have to do with any of it? These are the questions explored throughout Blaming GOD as the author reflects on her life and embarks on a journey from faith lost to faith rediscovered—a journey that will resonate with other “faithful sinners” who may be questioning their own relationships with God. |
