Produktbeschreibung

Jane's "Spiritual Handbook" sheds wonderful and helpful light on an important element of both the damage suffered and, at least for some, the path towards managing life better for those who have suffered church-related sexual abuse. The spiritual cost for victims / survivors of sexual abuse is rarely if ever addressed by Church protocols, yet it remains for many an essential component in leading a meaningful life. Jane's book provides not only wise insight but a practical strategy for repairing the damage done by church-related abuse and rebuilding the lives of those who have suffered so tragically. - Fr Kevin Dillon AM Lifeboat Geelong Foundation.

Autorenporträt

About the author Jane N. Dowling has spent twenty-two years as a consecrated member of an international Catholic missionary community facilitating retreats and providing guidance on how to pray with the Scriptures. As a survivor of sexual abuse, she experienced the transformative power of God's word in her own healing journey. Further witnessing this transformation in others prompted her to write this book. In late 2012, having taken leave from her community and ministry commitments for health reasons, she appeared before the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. 'My decision to tell my story to the Royal Commission', she says, 'not only initiated a personal journey of deeper healing but also provided the raw material for God to work with and what I needed to begin writing this book.'
