I recently read a book on my kindle. I read it because the author was a friend of mine and a fellow blogger by the name of Secret Angel. The title of the book was “The Walking Wounded.”
I knew she had been abused in her marriage. I didn’t know how much her marriage had resembled mine.
I have read several books on women or children which have been abused. This one was different. It stripped off the layers of deceit that an abusive spouse so often wears. The book also accurately described why a wife or husband keeps returning to an abusive spouse.
I read plenty of books throughout the year. Most I get bored with and don’t take too seriously. This one I read very carefully because I could identify with the story line. I also knew that it was a book which was worthy enough that I should give it a promo post on my blog.
I would have never admitted I was in an abusive relationship when I was married. My husband rarely beat me and he only choked me when he was in a rage. (I realize now that I was a bit blinded) I never considered his constant criticism and lack of love an abuse, but it was. It tore at my heart and soul and left deep scars.
It is important to identify abuse as what it is and then seek to gain healing from God for our wounds, for if we don’t we are the walking wounded. Those who are wounded seek to wound others, if those scars are not healed by the blood of Jesus.
I would encourage anyone who suspects their relationship may be abusive or knows someone who is in an abusive relationship to buy The Walking Wounded novel. It is one of the most informative and helpful novels on the market for those who have been wounded by abuse.
Awww bless you sweet child of God. That is probably the reason why my hits soared yesterday. I hope that we continue to build God’s kingdom through our friendship and the fruit of it is less abuse for spouses and children. Be blessed sweet Sister in Christ.
Gracie Lynne, I can never thank you enough for the awesome endorsement and support for my book. No one should have to experience abuse. Please join me in prayer for all victims of abuse. What God has done for me and others, He can do for many more who are trapped in the cycle of abuse. God bless you, my sister!!
You are welcome and thank you for writing your story! I have never been one to call my ex an abusive husband but after reading your story I realize how blinded I had been from my childhood. He was definitely abusive in all ways. It is important to identify abuse which is emotional and verbal as well as physical and your book did such a great job of doing just that. I really enjoyed reading it. I was so nervous and anxious about writing the promo for you since I already know you and love you so deeply as a Sister in Christ. It is much easier for me to write promos or critiques for people I don’t know and love. Thank you for commenting on my promo piece for you. I continue to seek God’s guidance for the novel He has placed on my heart. I will be in prayer for you and other victims of abuse. Be blessed, Sister. With love, Gracie.
