“There are things written in this book that I have never told another living being. Not even God. And now I’m telling them to you,” writes Robyn Graham as she lays her life open for everyone to see in her book, He Touched Me, which has been released by BMH Books, Winona Lake, Ind.
As a survivor of severe emotional and physical childhood abuse, Graham says she desires to help other survivors with expressing their emotions and forgiving those who have sinned against them.
“I started writing for selfish reasons, actually,” she continues. “I wanted to get the yuck out of my mind and I thought if I could put it on paper, I could put it away from me…Now, here I am, sharing my thoughts and memories with you, not wanting to burden you with my yuck but hoping and praying that this narrative will empower you to deal with the “stuff” you’ve packed away in your own boxes and closets and under beds.”
In her book, she takes readers on a remarkable and often difficult journey from the darkness of her anger and sadness to the light of forgiveness and peace, demonstrating that God is faithful even through the worst circumstances.
He Touched Me is a story of pain, abuse, and suffering. But it is also a story of a Father who, even when human family members turned away, is always there.
“I’ve taken each memory out one by one, taken them to my Heavenly Father,” she writes, “and asked the questions so that I can learn to see Him-good among the grime, sweet among the stink, pure among the putrid, and never failing to be faithful.”
