Survivors of abuse have unique pasts, but the damage and pain are similar. Early-childhood trauma causes physical changes in the developing brain and a severing of emotions, and it distorts survivors' perceptions about themselves and others, which can last a lifetime. Sexual abuse affects the body, mind, and spirit, and healing must include all three. Unfortunately, many abused and relationally broken wander through a maze of opinions and suggestions. In Life Beyond Dry Bones, author Ann Coffey tells how secular therapies offer partial help, but without the spiritual guidance, healing is fragmented and the recovery process incomplete. She tells how, with help from God, deep forgiveness and moving forward is possible. Life Beyond Dry Bones offers hope, encouragement and practical help from a Christian woman who has traveled the road from childhood sexual abuse to healing, forgiveness, and freedom. Coffey shares her story of abuse and how through therapy and prayer she started to come to terms with her past.
