3.0 out of 5 stars
Very difficult reading (not due to subject matter),
By Someone (Somewhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A God Called Father: One Woman's Recovery from Incest and Multiple Personality Disorder (Paperback)
I found this book extremely difficult to read. The journal entries are interrupted by prayers which go from being a mild distraction from the story of this womans recovery to being a major block in understanding.
Having recently read "today I am Alice", "Sybil" and "when the rabbit howls" which are excellent examples of writing about dissociative identity disorder and the recovery from childhood trauma I would recommend that you buy those instead, unless you share the extremely strong christian values that take up most of this book.

Excellent book for both survivors and their helpers,
By A Customer
This review is from: A God Called Father: One Woman's Recovery from Incest and Multiple Personality Disorder (Paperback)
This is a powerful and honest book written by a woman who is a survivor of father-daughter incest. Very well-written, it reads more like a fast-paced novel. I felt as if I were sitting in the room with her, experiencing with her, as I read her journal entries describing her journey to recovery. This book brings much hope to those who are currently on the path to recovery. For those who work with the abused or wish to help a hurting friend, this book offers great insight. Read it!

Help and hope for the hurting,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A God Called Father: One Woman's Recovery from Incest and Multiple Personality Disorder (Paperback)
Even though I found this book hard to read at times because of the author's struggle -- presented in such intimate detail -- I found a thread of hope that compelled me to continue. This is a beautifully written book, real literature, that explores the human spirit's capacity for transformation in the face of tragic and overwhelming human depravity. As a victim of incest myself, I found it very encouraging. I recommend it!

Good book for abused persons and for their helpers,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A God Called Father: One Woman's Recovery from Incest and Multiple Personality Disorder (Paperback)
This is a very personal and immediate account of a woman who was a victim of father-daughter incest. I felt as if I were sitting in the room with her as I read her journal entries describing the challenges she faced and the hard victories she won. Her honesty about this difficult subject is admirable. The book is a good case study of how an excellent therapist worked with MPD/DID and childhood abuse issues. I recommend it to those who are survivors of any kind of abuse and to those who love and care for them. This book really helped me understand incest and MPD in a new way. A real book of hope!

Helpful, powerful and engrossing,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A God Called Father: One Woman's Recovery from Incest and Multiple Personality Disorder (Paperback)
This book held my attention and read more like a suspense novel than an autobiographical true story. I wouldn't usually read a book with a "Christian" view, but this one is down to earth, real, gritty and honest. If you have been a victim of abuse this book offers realistic hope.
