About the Book
This book is about the LIGHT in my life. This book is not my book. It belongs to HIM. After writing my first book, and His book too, "Splinters from my Rocking Chair" that depicts the very dark in my life as a result of incest, I knew I had to write about the LIGHT in my life; the LIGHT that saved me. I lived in so much darkness through so much of my life as a result of incest but also because of my religious upbringing. This upbringing promoted the casting out of so many and I bought into it. I believed in them, not HIM. I then decided I had to stop fighting mankind and trying to prove my worthiness to them. I went to the GOSPELS and there I found Jesus and that He was on my side, not theirs. He was against the so called religious. He was on my side, our side. He sought after the broken and the sick and all those who were so lost. He loved all those who had gone astray and the weak in spirit. He went after those who needed HIM. This book is about my walk with JESUS!
About the Author
My full name is Marcia Jean Terpstra. I was raised in Wyoming, Michigan. I now live back home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am an incest survivor. Once I understood the magnitude of what had happened to me, I went on a mission to do what I could to stop sexual abuse of any kind against children. I became determined to help. I wrote my first book "Splinters from my Rocking Chair". This book was of the raw pain in my life. The dark book that would hopefully shed light into the world as to what sexual assault of any kind does to a child; a stolen soul, an undeveloped heart, a lost spirit. But thankfully, I am a survivor so there must be a second book. This book is about my transformation. Because I am a survivor I had to write this book. I wrote both these books in order to fight the war against childhood sexual abuse. I wrote to do my part and when I am gone my fight will remain, so the world will forever know and will never forget. In the meantime, my next book will be about the matters of the heart!
