Reseña del editor:

Have you ever wondered why experiences that turn some people into bitter individuals change others into better ones?

At the age of 15 Rhea, a young Christian girl, was raped by a gang of gun-wielding robbers during a church convention. There followed 18 years of extreme psychological trauma during which she went from loving God, to hating Him. This hatred was not directed to God only but also at herself. At one point, she said, the hatred was so virulent it became an ordeal to take a simple bath - because she could not stand to touch herself.

Rhea’s is just one of the five remarkable stories in But He Calls Me Blessed!

Using tragically heartbreaking yet awe-inspiring first person stories, this book documents horrific rape, domestic abuse, and unimaginable loss; illuminating amazing displays of faith during the most harrowing of circumstances. Told in an intimate and confiding first person point of view, the book has the potential to resonate with readers across the globe.

A unique experience in content as well as background, But He Calls Me Blessed! targets more than Christian followers, as it deals with universal issues that affect readers from all walks of life, regardless of race, gender, religion, or position within society. Teaching hope, positivity and faith, this priceless new book shows us all the true power of hope and the endless potential of inspiration.
