This review is from: Stormie: A Story of Forgiveness and Healing (Paperback)

What a wonderful book to read for anyone who has lived with mental illness themself or was a member of a family with a parent that suffered from mental illness. It shows how one woman, having grown up in a two-parent household, had an absolutley horrific childhood. Her mother locked her in a closet for hours on end and continually verbally abused her as well. As she reaches adulthood, knowing how to relate to others is tough and causes much anxiety and pain. Through much error and wrong choices during her young adult years, she meets a man who tries to tell her about the love Jesus has for her. Not really understanding what it is all about, Stormie continues down the wrong path until one day she truly opens her heart up to God! Through reading this book, one is able to gain knowledge about people with mental illness as well as learn how to experience the love and forgiveness of God.

This review is from: Stormie: A Story of Forgiveness and Healing (Paperback)

I love this book. Stormie relates the trauma and turmoil of her young life and how they led her to the point of complete physical and emotional breakdown. But when she opened her heart to Jesus, she began to learn how to walk in emotional and physical health and she relates the full story of how God miraculously and lovingly restored her to complete health in her body and most especially, her emotions. I recommend this book to many many people only I never lend out my copy - it's far too precious!

What an awesome book! I could hardly put it down. As a child, Stormie experiences physical and emotional abuse from her mentally ill mother, which led to Stormie making poor choices in her young adulthood. As an adult she experiences healing and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. THis book led me to give my life to the Lord eight years back, and I've been with Him ever since!
