Despising the shame is a monument to every survivor of childhood sexual abuse. The story of Sallie Culbreth's pilgrimage back to the house where her abuse occurred surprised everyone. The house had been destroyed by a tornado and for the first time in decades, she entered it. The images of that destruction were metaphorical of how abuse feels to a victim. The ultimate testimony for all who have ever suffered is captured in this story. The events that took place in that house launched Sallie on a journey that moved her beyond abuse. The quest for freedom eventually led to the development of Committed to Freedom Ministries for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. If you are a fellow survivor. you will experience validation and hope. If you are not, you will gain better understanding of what it feels like to be intimately exploited. Despising shame taps in to the heart of what it feels like to walk through the destruction and emerge with scars.
Description This is not 'just' a book however; this is a powerful, moving and painfully honest look at surviving childhood sexual abuse. This book is about a group of survivors and those who support them coming together to be a voice for the voiceless...to shed more light on what it takes to survive...and perhaps most importantly of all to show that you can go on to achieve, inspire, enrich not only your life but others around you too. This book was on my heart because I often see amazing pieces of art and writing by others. I wanted them to have a platform on which to share their talent but also their voice. As children we lived in our silent, individual abusive situations. As adults we now come together and are a voice not just for ourselves but for the future generations to learn from. We have been mindful to share both light and shade within the pages of our book. We hope others will benefit from the experiences we have shared, our healing tips and inner most thoughts.
