In the fall of 1992, Pelican published Lauren Stratford’s breakthrough work, I Know You're Hurting: Living Through Emotional Pain. This book speaks to people who have been victims of any abuse-physical, emotional, or spiritual. Though Lauren Stratford draws on to her own experiences as a survivor of ritual abuse by a satanic cult, the important lessons-reclaiming one’s spirituality and cultivating a sense of self-worth-are helpful for anyone who has felt the pain of abuse.
“God sometimes takes away what seems good to us, in order to give us the best. . . . All God’s testings have a purpose, and you can assume that God knows you can handle them.” These words of encouragement come from a woman who met adversity with unending faith and overcame a personal tragedy that will inspire readers.
The theme of this book is joy. The characters, whether famous or ordinary, have at least one thing in common—they have inspired others through acts of faith, hope, and love.
As many people today look around at their lives and feel that something is missing, that there must be more to life, a need for guidance arises. Portraits of Extraordinary Women offers twenty-four voices of inspiration. Although it was long ago, the women of the Bible lived real lives with real struggles and real triumphs. Their stories can teach us valuable lessons about our humanity.
Lauren Stratford’s story is one that everyone needs to read, though it deals with a subject most of us would rather not discuss—a subject that for many is too horrendous even to believe. Lauren Stratford lived a life of unending nightmare. As a small child she was offered sexually to strange men. Soon after, she was forced into a torturous routine of pornography, was controlled by mind and body-altering drugs, and constantly received threats to her life. Paperback.
