"This is Not My Story" is a thoughtful look at sexual abuse through the eyes of a survivor and insights into the way God intervenes and blesses during the journey of healing from abuse. You will read specific scriptures and how they came to life during her own healing from incest and abuse. This book is intended to show God's glory in the midst of darkness. It's a rare and most honoring moment when you are invited into someone's healing journey. As a licensed mental health practitioner, it is one that I don't take lightly. It is in these moments when you're able to discover something unique about your own trauma through another's painstakingly painful years of agony and horror. It is in this place where doors and pathways are opened that shed light on what was once drowned in darkness. A light comes on and a discovery of hope and healing lies in your grasp, for maybe the first time ever. And you are finally able to say, "maybe their journey of healing could be mine also". "This is Not My Life; - God's Providence through my story of Abuse and Recovery." does just that, as my dear friend and former colleague, Jodeen Bradfield discloses the deepest of pain and suffering that comes from being on the wrong side of abuse. This book is a game changer for those looking for hope, when everything tells you that there is none. Be prepared to be rocked to your core as you navigate your own healing journey while walking alongside Jodeen in hers. Our greatest victories are often granted at the sacrifice of others. At the core, this is what Jodeen has birthed, as she has dedicated her life to bringing hope and healing to those suffering from the effects of trauma and abuse. You will walk away forever changed."
