Once I was a Smiling Child

This is a facilitation tool for adults, who have suffered childhood sexual abuse and seek freedom from the secret and liberation from the negative impact of this horrendous violation of childhood and theft of joy and innocence. By taking the "journey" and completing the workbook, an individual is afforded the opportunity to break negative cycles and enter into a newly accessed realm of peace. 
The book can be used in conjunction with any marriage counseling materials being used, OR it can be experienced within the confines of a faith-based support group, OR you can grab a partner and journey forward.
You Should Know . . .
  • The book is simple, yet effective and created for ages 18 and up. 
  • This "Journey to Light" requires time, courage, and commitment. 
  • The journey requires the seed of faith, in order to reap the harvest of healing.
The original art, featured on the front cover, is by Fox Valley artist Ann Baruth. The print has been provided in detachable form, at the back of the book. It is designed to serve as a pleasant, visual reminder that you have completed the exercises and hopefully you've released and received. 

You are encouraged to read the story of the individual, whose smile appears on the back of the book. Your details and circumstance details may differ from hers, however the result is the same-an adult life without the benefit of the joyous "child smile" within. An article, which appeared in People Magazine, Tube: Well Healed, Jason Lynch & Pamela Warrick, April 7, 2003 Vol. 59 No. 13, chronicling the journey of truth for one Hollywood man is available for your enlightenment. This young man did not use the Once I Was A Smiling Child tool; however the article reveals, through this young man's story, the negative adult-life impact of the of undisclosed childhood sexual abuse.
