It has been said that a picture speaks a thousand words. I however had to write almost 20,000 words to paint a picture that is only the tip of the iceberg of the pain and misery I silently carry.

As the devastation of an over-night tornado is revealed by the sun, the Son has revealed the ruin and destruction left in the heart from childhood.

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (The New King James Version - John 10:10). The abundant life that was intended is not only possible but can indeed be restored in Christ.

"I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth. Praise to our God" (Psalms 40:1-3 The New King James Version)

This book is a journey of healing, restoration and hope. It is my devotion to Christ. It is my story, testimony and my worship, my new song.
