drjdmcwilliams Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi! I'm Dr. J.D. McWilliams. I see that many serious discussions are going on in forums about Christian sexuality and about surviving abuse. I am a lifelong Christian who has worked as an advocate for many victims of domestic and sexual abuse, and who also has worked as a journalist trying to help people learn information that will help them. I have written a book about the Bible character Mary Magdalene, whom I believe was a victim of domestic and sexual abuse before Jesus saved her. I base my conclusion on several years of research in dozens of ancient and modern sources of information. Although I understand that no book alone by me can fix anyone's problems, I hope that my book can at least help people understand abuse issues better, and can help victims not to blame themselves, and can help victims' friends not to blame them. My book is called "The Tower: The True Story of Mary Magdalene and Her Rise from Demon Priestess to Christian Saint," and it's available on Amazon.com. Please excuse the somewhat racy cover. It's designed to get people's attention, of course, but I hope that people will focus on the information that is inside: Sexual abuse is never the victim's fault; God cares for us even during the worst tragedies; and God can help victims recover peace of mind. Please read my book and tell me what you think. I hope that it helps people. Respectfully, Dr. J.D. McWilliams Link to post Share on other sites
