Breathe

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Breathe is to Hush as fulfillment is to a promise. Nicole's experience, wisdom, compassion and insight uniquely qualify her to console, encourage and challenge victims of sexual abuse in their ongoing healing. She also masterfully addresses those who help, offering information and advice. Each chapter is cohesively written with an account of a person from the Bible, an explanation of difficulties inherent in that particular element of recovery or support, narrative examples from people Nicole has encountered in her ministry and a "life letter" written by someone other than Nicole, addressing the reader from his or her perspective--friend, mother, husband, fellow victim. Every reader will leave the book with clearer understanding of and commitment to the "circle of inspiration" God intended for those who have been victimized by childhood sexual abuse. Breaking the silence begins the healing. Thriving relationships are the "next step" and the reward of God's promise to dry every tear and bind every wound. Breathe helps us take that step.”
