In this unique and true personal account of life after childhood traumas such as molestation, divorce, and mental abuse, the reader will be able to look inside the mind and life of the survivor. The reader will gain insight into the struggles one faces from childhood to adulthood after the trauma. This book courses through self-destruction, self-injurious behavior, self-help, and professional counseling. Experience life through the eyes of the survivor as only he can describe with true accuracy. Professionals have published regarding male molestation, but only a few survivors have written books concerning their life experiences, and these books stand alone. No one can accurately bring the content to life like the survivor, and this book undeniably stands alone in writing style and substance. Professional counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and psych students can gain an enormous amount of clinical insight into male molestation from this book. Pastors, parents, significant others, family members, and survivors will be able to develop a vast amount of helpful information to assist in coping and healing. Child predators should also be able to understand the devastation that lay ahead of the victim; to see the true destruction that lay in wait for the child could be a deterrent and possibly save lives. This book discusses pornography, adultery, poor coping mechanisms, addictions, anxiety, depression, codependency, divorce, low self-esteem, and more in vivid detail, with the confidence that many may find hope and healing.

Dispelling myths about the sexual abuse of boys,
By Shane Maritain "ShaneNYC" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Ever It Takes, God: The Most Difficult Things For Men To Survive (Paperback)
One of the leading myths, still widely held, is that boys are immune to the effects of sexual abuse, that as males they can be expected to handle that situation, forget about it, and get on. As John Oarc's book reveals, this is almost never the case. Sexual abuse of boys has devastating and lasting effects. His personal experience and his struggle to heal and overcome the effects are extraordinarily well documented. His is a hero's journey and one that makes the reader glad to know him. A terrific read.

Painfully Honest, Open and Therapeutic,
By
This review is from: What Ever It Takes, God: The Most Difficult Things For Men To Survive (Paperback)
John walks readers through his painful healing process that took decades to start. He honestly and openly describes his life and the events that took place following a tragic and shocking emotional trauma. It's troubling at times and is even salted with bits of humorous wisdom at others. But it's eye opening all the way through. On many levels, I was able to relate to the thoughts and emotions he expresses and have even found to be conducive to the tearing down of my own person walls and the healing of my own struggles. Bravo John.
