Restoring Joy is the real life short stories about seven survivors who endured significant prolonged trauma and have experienced significant healing. Joy is the name we've given one of those survivors. Her story would break your heart. Trauma had seriously damaged the soul and greatly impacted the lives of each of these survivors. These people needed the God who heals the brokenhearted. The suffering described in Restoring Joy includes horrific abuses, satanic rituals, human trafficking, and mind-control programming. God brings healing to the devastating effects from these traumas and from the effects of many other abuses that you would not even want to imagine. I hope this book will open people’s eyes. I pray it will elicit empathy and prayer. I pray that it will be used to call some to serve. I pray that all the Joy’s out there who need healing will find hope through these short stories.
Was an amazingly eye opening book… I came into it not oblivious or unaware but showed me a deeper level of what is going in the world regarding human trafficking and other very traumatic things that happen to people. These really are not things just on tv. I love the awareness that this book brings and the light that it shines on the darkness of what really goes on right here in America. This book was inspiring and motivational to really listen to God’s calling in my life. Thank you so much for sharing! And being obedient to God!
I think Richard communicates a need in our communities and wants to be equipped and wants us to also be equipped to be involved in healing the people around us through Christ. He tells stories but leaves out the details most of us cannot stomach.
