Review:

I just got out of a session and the guy had picked up your book [Reaching the Hurting] from my office and read it. He was really blessed. This guy went through the worst sexual trauma I ve ever heard from his dad. --Jennifer Jill Schwirzer, LPC

As producer of a weekly television program, I, along with my co-host, am constantly looking for guests who can point (from personal experience) hurting people to the Source of all healing Jesus Christ. Samantha and Steve Nelson do just that. What first impressed us about their unique ministry, The Hope of Survivors, was Samantha s book, Reaching the Hurting A Biblical Guide for Helping Abuse Victims. Instead of encouraging victims to live endlessly in past pain, Samantha (herself a victim of abuse) shares about the importance of living life abundantly today. The book s Bible-based approach helps abuse victims understand what happened to them and then provides steps they can take in order to experience spiritual and emotional healing through the power of God s grace. We also found the homework assignments at the end of each chapter especially helpful. Even before we filmed several television programs with Steve and Samantha, we were sharing Samantha s book with hurting people around us and the reader responses were most positive. --Carolyn Sutton, TN

God bless you, sister. I finished the book you so kindly sent me and am doing better. I really appreciate that your book is based COMPLETELY on the Word of God. The Holy Spirit definitely used you to write that book. I was wondering if I could purchase that for others then where I can order it and how much. --Victim in NY
