Hush: Moving From Silence to Healing After Childhood Sexual Abuse
Nicole's bookHushis honest and takes a much-needed look  at an issue that has been quiet for far too long.  I know so many people will  benefit from reading this book.-Craig Gross, Founder of XXXchurch.comFor  those who are searching for hope and help, Nicole gently leads them to the only  true Source of Healing, the Lord Jesus Christ.  Her life story and the message  of this book accentuate how someone's courage, honesty, forgiveness, and trust--as  well as counseling and close relationships--all have their place along the journey.   Nicole uses her story and the accounts of others she has met along the way to weave  together insights of how God reaches into places where the deepest, darkest secrets  are hidden and says, "You no longer have tohush."  This is a well-balanced  and sensitively written resource for survivors and those who want to help them.-Dr.  Edee Schulze, Dean of Student Life, Wheaton CollegeFor over 30 years  I have worked with many people, from child molesters to survivors to victims of  priest/clergy abuse most recently.  And still I wonder and ask why the Christian  community is so reluctant to address this profound need in our world.  What  Nicole Braddock Bromley does for survivors of childhood sexual abuse inHushis what Jesus Himself did for the mute--gives them back their voice.  Her  courage and honesty that flow from these pages provide hope for God's hurting and  wounded children.  Nicole's insights on spiritual healing reveal a wisdom far  beyond her years.-Victoria Kepler Didato, Director of Child Sexual Abuse  Institute of OhioHushis so much more than a compelling account of one  woman's journey into wholeness.  This book provides a genuine education for  victims, their families, and those who want to help them. Hushis  a model of healing as it frees the wounded of the stigmatization that so often comes  with sexual abuse.  The book effectively addresses issues of faith, of intimate  relationships, and offers practical advice for those who want to tell someone about  their victimization.  This fine book debunks the false and dangerous notions  that abuse does not occur in Christian homes.  I wish everyone would read this  book!-Elizabeth Dermody Leonard, PhD, Professor of sociology, Vanguard  University
