Journeys to Joy follows the first 2 1/2 years of 16, of a journey to find and know the truth about God's love directly from God Himself. Learn how these people break free of the abusive control maintained over their lives and memories by people and priests who came in the name of God and claim to be acting under His authority. These remarkable true stories follow an individual with Multiple Personality Disorder, a survival mechanism initiated in a lifetime of abuse, struggling to find spiritual healing and 'wholeness' through the unconditional love of Jesus. Recorded in the words of the people experiencing them, some of life's hardest issues are investigated, illustrated and documented in these books; spiritual warfare, clergy abuse, Satanic Ritual Abuse, evil in everyday life, spiritual healing and the reality of the power of the Kingdom of God at work in and around us. As the author of the SHATTERED PEOPLE SERIES and a pastor & counselor specializing in spiritual issues, I include a running commentary on their journey as a clinical study of their journey with their first counselor and continuing with me. I include definitions of terms used for understanding the care given them and what we learned together about God's grace, love, healing, plans and will for all of His children. How God chooses to reveal His love in power, while confronting evil in the midst of their pain and suffering, through forgiveness, mercy and truth will challenge your concepts of Him and His love.

Our purpose in this series of books isn't to focus on understanding their experiences, or my understanding of them or their "disorders", but to help all those going through similar struggles in search of hope and healing, to learn how Jesus responds to their needs and why... knowing that God in Jesus Christ is trustworthy and present in life. While this book covers 2 1/2 years, the second book Journeys to Love covers the next 4 years. I will update the information shared in the prefaces and prologues in Books 3 & 4 to include what our Heavenly Father revealed about His ways for healing anybody in search of a true relationship with Him. In this series Shattered People the truth learned over the coming years in relationships with hundreds of clients/ friends on their journeys to understand and trust why God loves them and why they can live today in our Heavenly Father's ongoing and unconditional love for them.
