MY THOUGHTS.....
The scars from emotional abuse may not be visible but they are just as painful and damaging as the ones incurred from physical abuse. The author of this book offers a powerful chronicle of being a victim of her husband's emotional abuse and the steps that she took to gain her freedom. There are eleven chapters in Return to the Garden: Discovering God’s Original Design for Women, and they each have the same format: they begin with Bible scripture and end with Questions and a Prayer to Read Out Loud, but there's so much more. Rebecca Mann Kelly shares the traumatic accounts of her experiences and she's very transparent in describing the disgrace and hopelessness that she felt because of these events.
I've never personally experienced what she describes but I truly admire her determination to help other women. She's chosen to share her own pain and shame so that other victims can experience the joy and freedom that comes from believing and trusting in Jesus Christ. Return to the Garden is an inspiring resource!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher but I wasn't obligated to write a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
