Although this book was painful to write, having to dredge up the garbage from my early life, I forged on, seeing that there are far too many suffering abuse or the lasting effects of it, such as hurts, inward and outward, scars, bitterness, anger, and even hate. Some of these are misplaced. Instead of it coming out toward the source of their abuse, it is usually directed toward the ones who try to help or by uncontrolled fits of anger on otherwise insignificant matters. Even if there was only one suffering, that is one too many! I also seek to reach the abuser in this book. I do understand that there are just as many factors that have caused or are driving others to do such hideous things as there are the abused. Maybe you didnt mean to or you felt power when you did these things, but no matter, God can and will forgive you! I believe this book would be a much-needed asset to any church, school, library, and home; it is meant to give hope and direction to the hurting, to help the one who finds themselves in a no-win situation because of their actions, and finally to heighten awareness in our families, communities, and in our churches that abuse is real, has many faces, and is standing right in our way. Making people aware will bring about a positive change and, with God, we can stop this life-altering crime!

Taking Off the Mask By: Antoinette Jackson Get ready to experience a journey to living an authentic life and a life of freedom from behind the mask with Antoinette Jackson. Antoinette realized she was wearing a mask in her twenties. From childhood to adulthood, through pain, rape, abuse, and disappointments, layer by layer she became comfortable in being disguised by her masks. She wasn’t willing to let go until there was a spiritual awakening through hearing and applying the word of God. Antoinette was able to peel back layer by layer through a few God-given friendships, receive healing, deliverance, and, through prayer and praise, the love of God came to her rescue.
