A step-by-step guide to overcoming childhood abuse—while making sure those responsible don't get away with it. Child abuse is a horrific crime against the innocent. Its consequences are far-ranging and long-lasting. It can be difficult to get past. And one of the hardest things to do is forgive the offenders. Every spiritual teacher agrees that forgiveness isn't just beneficial, it's essential. But few explain exactly how to go about it. Reverend Wild does. She is a survivor of childhood abuse herself, and she understands the realities of this kind of trauma first-hand. You may have done a lot of soul-searching and years of therapy, or spent hours in prayer, yet you're still haunted by the echoes of abuse. Or you may just be starting to face what happened. No matter what stage you are at, The Art of Forgiveness will help you make peace with the past and take ownership of your own happiness.
