Shattered People Series: Journeys to Joy follows the first two 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 by a lifetime of abuse, struggling to find spiritual healing and 'wholeness' through the unconditional love of Jesus. Recorded in the words of those persons’ 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 this series and a pastor & counselor specializing in spiritual issues I include a running commentary of their journey as a clinical study of their journey with their first counselor and then with me. I include definitions of terms used for understanding the care given then and what we learn together about God’s love, healing, plans and will for all of His children. How God chooses to reveal His love and 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 purposes together in these books is not to focus on understanding their experiences, my understanding of them or their “disorders”, but to help all those going through similar struggles in search of hope and healing to see and hear how Jesus responds to their needs and why... to know that God in Jesus Christ is trustworthy and true. While this book covers 2 years, the second book Journeys to Love covers the next 4 years. I am updating the information shared in the prefaces and prologues of both books to include new understanding of these issues learned over the next 20 years of my counseling relationships with hundreds of clients/ friends and their journeys to understand who God is and why He loves them...and why they can trust Him. However, the personal stories of these other people will be revealed in another series without any added commentary or study by me. They are autobiographical in nature in the Loved Back to Life Series being released in May 2020. Our hope with this new series is the same as with Shattered People that our readers will have more opportunities to know and trust our Heavenly Father’s ongoing and unconditional love for them. 3
