Summary: This book is about life not just date rape
Review: Although this book is helpful and encouraging, it is not a how to book. Me Ra Koh uses allegories to show us where God is in her process of recovery... Her pictures of Jesus are beautiful. I feel this book can be an encouragement to anyone who is suffering deep pain in their lives and are struggling towards wholeness.

Summary: a patient journey
Review: i am aquainted with date rape only to the extent that a friend of mine had experienced it. it was difficult knowing how to be a friend and support. but i must say that to start such a journey with a friend takes patience and a lot of openness to staying quiet when you want to speak and being open to learning a whole new language of communication. i honor Me Ra Koh for her ability to not only to be vulnerable and honest with us as her reading audience, but for her ability to be vividly creative with her imagery. reading this has helped me in looking back at how i may have done a better job or was somehow, mysteriously doing something right in a situation that seemed entirely un"restorable."

Summary: An amazing soul
Review: I didn't know Me Ra was an author until I met her. She would mention date rape as someone talking about when they first became engaged to their husband: with reverence to a difficult time in her life, but with emotional ease that only someone whom had dealt with great trauma and had overcome could do. To know her in person is to become exceedingly aware that she has no inner demons. That she has gone through great pain, vulnerability, degradation and hardship is true, but she bears no scars. People that have experienced trauma usually have "issues" remaining. To meet her is to become acutely aware that she doesn't have any "issues" because she has dealt with the grief associated with the rape, in all its forms. She is my role model for overcoming, and becoming whole.When I see her, I can only think to myself of mirroring her restorative process. If she could endure and become well again, then I want to follow the same path she took in my personal emotional healing. This book is her story. I use it as an example for my life. The One Way is God, and she will show you why. When all others make you question humanity, you're left with nothing to believe in; for humanity can bring much destruction on the individual. God's way is a path of hope and belief, of restoration. Read and discover this for yourself. Also, Me Ra mentions this in the introduction, but this book is for the male audience as well as the female.

Summary: A Courageous Story of Hope and Redemption
Review: It is a big step for a Christian publisher to be talking about a subject which has too often been ignored --date rape. This book, which tells of Me Ra's personal story of abuse and restoration, will be healing, informing and encouraging to anyone who has been on either side of sexual abuse. It is also a must-read for anyone planning on being involved in any kind of pastoral ministry (which, in a sense, is every person) --for we see and talk to people everyday who have gone through painful sexual experiences, yet we can hardly imagine how many actually have. While Me Ra's story is intimately tied to her Christian faith, it is accessible to all mature readers. Way to go Me Ra for sharing with us your heart and your story of hope! May this type of courage and vulnerability continue to be shown by Christians.

Summary: Beauty Restored
Review: Where does one begin? This book brings darknes to light. It puts into words the feelings that so many women have, yet cannot describe. This story has brought healing and restoration to me as well as so many other young women I work with. Praise God for using Me Ra Koh's story of pain to bring healing to so many others.

Summary: Beauty Restored
Review: Where to begin? This book is amazing, it put into words the things so many women want to say but just can't. It has brought forth healing in my life as well as the lives of so many other young ladies I work with! I am so thankful that Me Ra Koh chose to use this painful part of her life to bring restoration to so many others.
