This groundbreaking study of lesbian survivors of childhood sexual abuse is a powerful and critically needed entry in the field of survival and recovery literature. 60 courageous lesbian survivors share their personal stories of recovery from the earliest stages of remembering the abuse, to understanding and ultimately overcoming the defense mechanisms that children adopt to survive it, to addressing the endemic feelings of horrible isolation and shame. This collection provides victims ways in which to become survivors, and endows them with a vision of hope for the future.

TODAY is the day to experience and rediscover the beauty, majesty, power, and love of God anew and afresh! Why? Because life can bring about stagnancy, slumber, and drought; but the Holy Spirit desires to stir, awaken, and rejuvenate the heart to a deepened passion for the Divine Creator – God! It's time to fall in love with God again! A Soul's Reflections – a compilation of inspirational prose, poetry, and anecdotes – is a wonderful accompaniment to personal Bible study, prayer, and devotional periods. Throughout its pages the Holy Spirit breathes uniquely expressed and profound revelations of God, that the soul may inhale God's breath, be spiritually revived – and LIVE.
