Taking the Ashes

God's Response to Sexual Assault

Does God care about survivors of sexual violence? Should survivors press charges against the offenders? Can survivors ever get their lives back and reclaim their joy? Author Crystal Jones enlists the Scriptures to answer these questions and others from God's perspective.

Often the survivor of sexual abuse has been stripped of her self image and left without comfort that God cares. But the author points to God's heart about such matters. In a spiritual exchange, God offers beauty for ashes. He is able to compel survivors to reject shame, regain their voices, and to open their hearts to His love and purpose.

Taking the Ashes is the prescription for hope and comfort for those who have been broken by sexual trauma and for all those who love them.

Compassion and empathy is woven into every chapter

I appreciate the author for caring enough to write this book. Unfortunately, I, too, can relate to being molested, touched, and mishandled in my life. I thank God for the words of hope, healing, and the process of forgiveness spoken of in this book that will help me continue to heal. I plan to pass this book to every woman in my family as many of us sadly know these stories too well. The great part of it all is that God doesn't turn a blind eye to it. He sees us and will fight for us even as He heals us and makes us whole. 💖 Thank you, Mrs. Jones.
