Price: $21.95 | Every day we face horrors. The one horror guaranteed to shake us to the core is abuse…in whichever of its many guises it comes calling. Janice Romney Farnsworth suffered it all. In Beneath Wings of an Angel, Mrs. Farnsworth tells the horrific story of her years as both abused and abuser. She was molested as a young innocent child, was raped, had a subsequent abortion, and then lived through fifteen years of verbal and physical abuse to both her and her six children at the hands of her husband. A devout Mormon, she turned multiple times to the Church for help but was repeatedly told "…you just can’t walk out on him without giving him a second chance…" and to "return to her marriage". Finally breaking free of her abuser, she found her "twin flame" in her new husband but became instead the abuser when severe depression and hatred of herself caused her to turn to drugs.
This book not only tells the reader how her story unfolded and how she managed to fight her way back to the surface; but also, even more importantly, the second half of the book is a guide for people who find themselves trapped by the circle of abuse. Read and listen to one woman’s story of her battle against domestic violence and "the angel’s wings" that guided her on her quest.
This book is for everyone. Whether you’ve been abused or know someone who is being abused, this is a must read. If we learn nothing else from this writer’s plight, let us all open our minds and our hearts if someone cries out for help. Follow her healing journey and help someone else to heal. | | |
