Have you ever been in an organization or a relationship that was abusive to you? How did it make you feel? How long did it take you to regain your self-esteem or your ability to think for yourself? If all you had known was someone else telling you what to do, when and why to do it, and that if you DIDN'T do it their way the consequences would be severe, how would you recover?
Has anyone ever told you that their way is God's way? Have you ever been told that if you have an original thought, or if you question them, you are questioning God?
There is a way out. There is HOPE! The first step is realizing that you aren't crazy - the person trying to control you is.
Abuse is deceptive. The abuser rarely tells you, "I'm abusing you." It is much more subtle than that. They usually have charm, persuasiveness and confidence going for them. You have something EVEN stronger on your side: Truth. Truth is not controlling. Truth is not abusive. The truth is - YOU have the right to make your own decisions. It's your life. Don't let anyone control you.
It happened to me. I was brought into an abusive church as an infant. It was my world. I wrote this book to help you escape the trap - or better yet - never be caught. The abuser's deceptive, but effective formula is exposed in this beautiful fantasy world where two unlikely lovers meet. Nina's Story is my story. Maybe it is your story too.
