5.0 out of 5 stars Help and hope for the hurting, July 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A God Called Father: One Woman's Recovery from Incest and Multiple Personality Disorder (Paperback)

Even though I found this book hard to read at times because of the author's struggle -- presented in such intimate detail -- I found a thread of hope that compelled me to continue. This is a beautifully written book, real literature, that explores the human spirit's capacity for transformation in the face of tragic and overwhelming human depravity. As a victim of incest myself, I found it very encouraging. I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for abused persons and for their helpers, May 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A God Called Father: One Woman's Recovery from Incest and Multiple Personality Disorder (Paperback)

This is a very personal and immediate account of a woman who was a victim of father-daughter incest. I felt as if I were sitting in the room with her as I read her journal entries describing the challenges she faced and the hard victories she won. Her honesty about this difficult subject is admirable. The book is a good case study of how an excellent therapist worked with MPD/DID and childhood abuse issues. I recommend it to those who are survivors of any kind of abuse and to those who love and care for them. This book really helped me understand incest and MPD in a new way. A real book of hope!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, powerful and engrossing, July 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A God Called Father: One Woman's Recovery from Incest and Multiple Personality Disorder (Paperback)

This book held my attention and read more like a suspense novel than an autobiographical true story. I wouldn't usually read a book with a "Christian" view, but this one is down to earth, real, gritty and honest. If you have been a victim of abuse this book offers realistic hope.
