A little controversial thought on some extremely difficult subjects for most… the forgiveness of severe childhood sexual abuse as the only means of healing from it and the Lord, who gives the grace to do it… as well as some teachings of the Holy Roman Church, which many do not understand at all—or even see could be healing for someone with these kinds of issues. She writes on the subjects of chastity and celibacy (why these are NOT the cause of sexual abuse) and are, as supported by modern psychology, a healthy expression of one’s life-style and being, as well as several other important topics for these times.

Ms. Chamberlain has only intent for goodness—and by opening her life, she knows she has taken a potentially difficult step. One of her best friends, an author/psychiatrist who also wrote on similar material (though from a clinical viewpoint), told her, “You’re walking into the devil’s workshop.” She asks anyone reading the book and knowing the people involved, to take the road she has—forgiveness and understanding that the abuser, too, was a “victim of abuse in his past”, and that what might seem like to some to be an un-surmountable life obstacle is not so for God, who can heal anyone of anything.

A controversial figure in her time, Ms. Chamberlain has been given insight into the power of words to heal and destroy by her life’s circumstances… and wishes her words to only be seen as an offering to the God/Jesus she calls “Spouse” through the religious vows she has taken, and hopefully, to give another a “chance to heal” as did she. The book is liberally illustrated with powerful poetry.

In the words of St. Teresa of Avila, those things most worthwhile to the building of God’s Kingdom are those the devil tries hardest to stop… this has very much been the case in this instance. But, Life is an ongoing learning and healing process. Be at peace, fellow humanity, the time of justification is at hand.
