Book review:
"From Sorrows to Sapphires: Freedom from the Shame of Child Sexual Abuse" by Angela Williams is a poignant memoir that sheds light on the devastating impact of childhood sexual abuse. Hers is a real-life revelation of how the free will that God grants us may also place us in life situations that have lasting effects on people’s lives. It shows how bad things happen but can be used in powerful and meaningful ways by God. It shows how a cold and hardhearted person, devoid of God, impacts daily lives, but this story also reveals how a loving and caring God can bring a victim out of pain and suffering to heal and restore them to a beautiful and precious jewel.
Quote from the book that narrates the pain and survival strategy of a girl :
“Life is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.” If I can ever take time to reflect, to feel the pain, maybe I can figure out how to heal. I live trying not to think about the ugliness, trying to put it out of my mind. If I never thought about it, then it would all go away. My survival strategy has been to cram my days with loads of racing busyness, and then I can wade through my nightmares."
The book offers solace and validation to survivors while raising awareness about this sensitive issue. Angela's unwavering determination to overcome shame and rebuild her life is truly inspiring. Her discussion of Jesus's love, reliance on scripture, and ongoing struggles showcase the transformative power of faith. This book provides hope, empathy, and empowerment to those facing adversity.
Overall, the book lays a deep impact on its readers to learn from your hardships and have complete faith in God who has laid something better in store for you. Hope and trust in almighty can do wonders. I admit this book gave me goosebumps and was literally shaken by the incidents she suffered but hats off to the author who wrote it with full rawness and authencity.
