Rating: Summary: Help and hope for the hurting Review: Even though I found this book hard to read at times because of the author's struggle -- presented in such intimate detail -- I found a thread of hope that compelled me to continue. This is a beautifully written book, real literature, that explores the human spirit's capacity for transformation in the face of tragic and overwhelming human depravity. As a victim of incest myself, I found it very encouraging. I recommend it!
Rating: Summary: A clear inside look Review: I have found this book very helpful also as a professional therapist because it gives a clear inside look into the world of someone with DID. And therefore I recommend it also to other professionals as well as lay counselors in this field. Of course every story is different but to be able to take a peak into someone's head, so to speak, is very valuable. I admire the writer for having the courage to be willing to be so vulnerable in entrusting her head and heart to paper, also to help others who were victimized the same way and to help us professionals to understand better.
Rating: Summary: A God Called Father Review: I was impressed with the strength of the author to get through the long process and the healing as it took place(step by step). The most outstanding part to me was the way she was able to turn to God through all of it and draw upon her faith. I believe anyone who reads this work will be blessed in some way. I know that it gave me much "food for thought" and reaffirmed my own faith. We all have struggles,of one kind or the other, and this book can help give direction for handling anything. I intend to recommend it to all my friends. Bravo!!
Rating: Summary: Machree's testimony to God's healing powers Review: Judith Machree tells her devastatingly true story of being molested as a child and the ramifications of Multiple Personality Syndrom that followed. Through her remarkable faith in God and support from her husband, she is able to share her story today. The book is written in a journal format and relates the different struggles she lived through, but through it all, there is a deeply spiritual aspect interwoven. It is an excellent testimony to God's healing powers and the strength He gives us to overcome even the most horrendous events in our lives.
Rating: Summary: Helpful, powerful and engrossing Review: This book held my attention and read more like a suspense novel than an autobiographical true story. I wouldn't usually read a book with a "Christian" view, but this one is down to earth, real, gritty and honest. If you have been a victim of abuse this book offers realistic hope.

Rating: Summary: Good book for abused persons and for their helpers Review: This is a very personal and immediate account of a woman who was a victim of father-daughter incest. I felt as if I were sitting in the room with her as I read her journal entries describing the challenges she faced and the hard victories she won. Her honesty about this difficult subject is admirable. The book is a good case study of how an excellent therapist worked with MPD/DID and childhood abuse issues. I recommend it to those who are survivors of any kind of abuse and to those who love and care for them. This book really helped me understand incest and MPD in a new way. A real book of hope!
