Author, Barbara Smith, through her book, FROM ASHES TO GLORY, Discusses how one can Recover from the Trauma of Sexual Abuse

False Roads to ManHoodAtl., April 21, 2008 – Licensed minister, author and former nurse, Barbara Smith, discusses in a candid, friendly, and conversational tone the biblical and medical perspectives of rape in From Ashes to Glory. Having worked as a nurse for some twenty years, Smith has firsthand experience working with rape victims and those who have been the victims of sexual abuse, as well as with their families. The love of Jesus Christ radiates through her as she explains how women are left feeling after undergoing such a devastating experience.

Pulling from her understanding of the Scriptures, Barbara Smith uses the life of Tamar, King David's daughter, who herself was a victim of rape, as the foundation stone for From Ashes to Glory. With much patience and wisdom, she walks victims through the recovery process. This book is so anointed that after reading the truths contained therein, anyone will be taken from a life of hopelessness to a life full of hope in Jesus Christ.

In the foreword, Delores "Mom" Winans writes: "In From Ashes to Glory, I am mesmerized by how Barbara takes a topic as serious as rape, and explains how women are left feeling after such a devastating experience.  She dissects and discusses the topic from several aspects, reaching the secular world through her hands-on experience with rape victims as a nurse for many years, and shaking the spiritual world both with her unique explanation of the very interesting story of Tamar, and by 'putting us in remembrance' of the duties God gave us to perform."
