OR
Kindle for Only $2.99
This booklet is for anyone who needs to forgive someone!
I never expected that I’d ever be able to forgive the man who took my childhood from me. I also never expected to heal from the trauma I had experienced. But God’s ways are not our ways and His miracles never cease to amaze me. “How I Forgave My Molester” is my journey to healing. There is power in Christ! You may think it’s impossible, as I did, that you could ever fully be free from your past abuse but you can! You can live in peace and be free and Jesus is waiting for you to take that next step of faith.
“The big question truly comes down to trust. Do you really believe and trust that God is enough? That He and only He can truly set you completely free? His word says you are set free. Gal 5:1 says: It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
Not only will I share my story but also a step-by-step instruction on how to claim healing in your life! I believe God has given me a heart to help those who are fighting this battle. Who will you give your power to? Your molester or The King of Kings?
You can purchase this 50 page book that includes: my story, step-by-step guide to healing, personal reflections questions, and a resources page. This booklet isn’t just for those who have been sexually abused; this book can be used by anyone for any struggle you are battling. The step-by-step guide is biblical and basic. *Also includes printable memory verses (ebook only).
“Why wasn’t I enough? Why wasn’t I important enough to anyone? Why me?”
“I feel like I am crazy. I want to believe that Max didn’t sexually abuse me as a child but I know deep down, he did. I know I told you. It happened, didn’t it? Why did nothing happen to him? Why does everyone pretend everything is fine when there is a child molester among us?”
“I don’t believe the saying, “Fight for yourself because no one else will” because Christ will. He did. He has already won the battle. So you can be whole.”
Reviews (just a few of hundreds privately received):
Christian author, Michelle Sutton @ Healing Hearts “This e-book provides a step-by-step guide to claiming victory over the bondage of sexual abuse. These steps can also be applied in any situation where forgiveness is needed….I enjoyed this book because it was concise and to the point without being overly graphic or detailed. It also had a positive and uplifting message with sound advice to follow. I loved the scriptures included and the author’s perspective….I highly recommend this resource for women who have been hurt by molesters and also to young women who are trying to deal with the ramifications of the abuse….everything in this booklet is sound advice and well-thought-out, which tells me the author has definitely experienced healing or she wouldn’t be able to describe it so well.”

“I had the opportunity to read How I Forgave My Molester and found it to be an excellent and very helpful ebook. Not only does Mel tell her story and how she learned to forgive, but she also gives solid Biblical steps for forgiving in any situation.” ~ A Glimpse of Beautiful
“In this 50-page ebook, not only does she delve intimately into this sensitive subject, but she offers biblical truth that would apply to anyone victimized by unexplainable hurt. With a heart to reach women for God, Melinda has also included memory verses to encourage the reader along their own path toward healing.” Writin’ 4 Him Cafe by Debbie Dillon

I love the little piece you shared. It seems as if you and I have talked and you know my thoughts. I have tried picking up the phone knowing I have to forgive, but it is a daily battle for me. I just think in my head how could someone take advantage of a little girl who didnt know or understand what was happening to her. I pray God will help me beat this devil down and be free from him and the pain.
Carmen, I am praying for you sister! God WILL release you! I know it. You don’t have to call him to tell him you forgive him. But you can say it out loud over and over again until you start to feel it. Check your email girl
Love you!
I will do that. Thank you for the encouragement.
Here I sit, eyes wide, jaw open…I just finished your ebook. Powerful stuff. I am going to read it again…I am a huge believer in forgiveness, and I actually wrote a TWENTY page letter to my ex-husband while we were seperated that helped me forgive him–and me–for all that went wrong. I love the validation, I love that you so openly share your pain and your heart with the hope of helping people heal. You (and your book) are a blessing. This book is a wonderful resource that will help many free themselves and forgive the people who have wronged them. Absolutely wonderful.
Thank you so much for a copy, I read it and it was an awesome book. I sat hear reading it out loud to myself and my 14 year old walks in and asked why my voice was trembling as I read. I didn’t realize I my whole body was trembling, the pain I felt for you, other women, myself. As I read your letter to him, I felt as if I was reading it to my molester. I have wondered how far did he go, when did he actually start on me. I am not sure if this is question I want answered. I had to go lay down and cry, I cried uncontrolably feeling some kind of release. Knowing that another woman knew exactly what went through my mind as a child and growing up. It made me feel like I can get through this and I will do exactly as your book says. For anyone who does not have this book, get it. Thank you Mel
Carmen, now I am in tears. Oh sister I have been praying for you since the first time we chatted (and I apologize for not sharing your story, I lost a ton of stuff in the move from urls). I am here to encourage you and if I can figure it out and get brave enough, I am going to start an online bible study! Upload youtube videos and you can always come here and chat and work through things. Work the steps girl and they aren’t steps you do in order (darn, meant to write THAT in the book) but to be done concurrently, together. You CAN do this girl! You can because Jesus says you can, not because I say so

What a powerful and honest look at your life. Thank you for sharing. I have been through a very similar situation and still hang on to some of that anger. I especially love this “I don’t believe the saying ‘Fight for yourself because no one else will’ because Christ will.” What an amazing realization. I think that I have always felt that way and that is why things have gone so well for me. Thank you again for opening your life to all so that they may be free.

First, I am SO sorry that this happened to you
Thank you for opening up and sharing this traumatic event in your life. I Praise God for working in your life! You are an amazing person and because you have allowed God to heal you, and help you forgive…I pray MANY people will be blessed, and learn to forgive as well! My God continue to shine through you…love ya!
Thank you Nikki! He’s already moving in ways that I had prayed for! Sometimes we have to experience the bad stuff to glorify Him later
I’m so glad you’ve recovered! And so sorry a monster hurt you. I do not believe for an instant that God ordained that atrocity.
I know how hard this has been for you to deal with & how hard you’ve worked in order to come out on top. I can only thank God for your restoration & our restored & much-improved relationship. And how lucky is a mom to be counted as one of her daughter’s best friends?! Especially after all of this. I love you & am so very proud of you!
I finished your book a while ago. Mel, I cried with you. You described exactly how I feel and have felt growing up. It was like you were in my head. Our stories are so very similar. I didn’t think healing or forgiving was possible and I went into reading your book very skeptical but with a small glimmer of hope. I went through your steps, each and every single one of them. You and God have changed my life. I finally forgave my abusers and my heart feels lighter, happier, and almost whole. I have some more work to do but without your help, I would have never started this journey. I would have never even known HOW to start. Thank you doesn’t seem to cover what I want to say to you. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for being willing to put yourself out there so that others can learn to heal. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
PS – I hope it’s okay to use a fake name. Please don’t publish my email address. I have family that is not ready to face all of this.
Suzie Q – God bless you! You made my day! I’m so glad to hear that God is moving in your life and freeing you from the bondage of childhood abuse. It’s all God, He gave me the story and the words. Prayers and hugs to you! OH and don’t worry, email addies don’t publish and a fake name is totally okay
Mel, I was so excited to see your book was 2.99 for kindle which I was going to get but when I clicked on it it said it was up to 6+ . I didn’t know if you knew or if the kindle was something through a different format. Was just wondering.

Prices of books change periodically. I’ve put in a request for amazon to lower the price back to $2.99
