It is my hope, that by the time you are finished reading the pages in this book, that you will know how deeply you are loved by God. It is my hope, that this book will give you a glimpse, into what it's like to love, and be loved by the real Jesus. I want to take you on a journey with me, of heartache, survival, self discovery, and ultimately, divine healing. If you are feeling lost like I was, don't worry. You can find your way back home, just like I did. You are not alone. I am right here with you, and we can do this together. I want to shed light on what this process of healing from spiritual abuse has looked like and felt like for me, in the hopes that you will be able to find your way back to a God who loves you, more than life itself. This book is about healing, from spiritual abuse and trauma. I hope you choose to take this journey with me.

A man with his wife at the table on the other side of the restaurant is polite but distracted. A woman at work stares out her office window with a blank expression, her mind far away. A father wraps his arm around his daughter in the church pew; his eyes are on the pulpit, but his mind wanders. What about the college student on the soccer field or in the library? The doctor prepping for surgery? The realtor showing the house next door? The mailman on your front porch. Your Sunday school teacher . . . perhaps even your preacher. These people may be dominated by some form of sexual brokenness, from pornography to adultery to unwanted homosexual temptation. They share a secret they hope and pray will never be revealed. The urge to act out in their brokenness is destroying them because it conflicts with a life they have already chosen. They dont know how to live with it; they dont know how to be rid of it. They may not know what caused it; they only want to cure it. Am I just a misplaced homosexual? Did God make me this way? Why wont He change me? Surrounding them are the ones who sense something is amiss but have no clue what to do or where to find help. They may be confused by the teachings of the church: love the sinner; hate the sin. This seemingly Biblical response can actually send the message to the struggler that he is, in fact, unlovable because his identity seems inseparable from his sin. Surviving Sexual Brokenness examines the roots and the roadblocks and provides understanding, encouragement, hope and help through Biblical truth and Christian compassion for the freedom-seeker and those who travel alongside.

Sarah Grace is a sexual assault survivor. On 17 July 2019, she fell asleep like any other night. A burglar broke into her apartment and attacked her as she slept. What followed was a fight for her life. That violent assault blew apart her world, reducing everything in it to ashes. From that battle, Sarah has waged many more. She had to fight her way through post-traumatic stress, the social stigma around sexual assault and an archaic court system in her bid to ensure her attacker couldn't do the same to another woman. Some adversities were predictable – nightmares, panic attacks and the devastating loss of self. Others were surprising – toxic social reactions, friends withdrawing and a nightmarish trial that unearthed how heavily the criminal justice system is loaded against victims. Ash + Salt is a raw and powerful account of healing and thriving after sexual assault. Armed with courage and brazen candour, Sarah takes you through her own story to reveal the experience of a survivor. She offers the tools to survive the assault, its aftermath and the trial, and charts the path back to recovery. Because while ash marks the place of devastation, it is also the fertile soil from which new life can grow. This is a book for everyone – not just survivors, but their families, friends and colleagues too. Sexual assault affects us all, regardless of background or gender. It is one woman's personal testimony, but it is also a call to arms. The time to speak up is now.

In case no one's told you lately, or ever: I'm so proud, of all you've accomplished in your life, and I'm so proud of who you are. I know we've had a rough go of things. Life sure hasn't ever been gentle with us or easy on us, but you rose up like a lion, and you fought back. You refused to let the darkness define you, or break you. I'm so incredibly proud of you. You've worked so hard for decades of your life, to grow through the concrete we got slammed into over and over again, when life knocked us down. Never forget that there is beauty in how we fall, strength in how we continue to breathe, courage in how we decide to keep fighting, and fierceness, in how we rise.-Little girl speak
