From the Author:
The ravages of abuse and sexual molestation were horrendous in both of my sons, Josh and Mike. By an absolute miracle of God I was able to go get Josh and slowly bring him back to a place of healing.
He became my beloved son and I became his Dad, or as he affectionately called me to all his friends and family and teachers: "My Dad."
He and I went from feeling worse than dead - we felt shamefully separated and broken beyond repair - to sharing a great love and loving to live life together...
Whether you who are reading this are young or older, I want you to know that you are not alone. You exist in the heart of Josh and I by virtue of taking part in this Workbook, and bigger, much bigger than that - you exist in the heart of God who loves you and wants you healed.
