My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?

If you're a survivor of abuse, you know firsthand the feelings of abandonment, betrayal, exposure, and despair. What you might not realize is how fully Jesus knows them too. His abuse began with a kiss.

Here Jesus shares his personal story in response to the question, "Do you know what it's like?" Listen as Jesus explains that he knows dread, betrayal, humiliation, and much more -- feelings that abuse survivors live with and Jesus lived through and died for.

In the company of Jesus and others who have suffered as you have, take the positive steps you'll find inside this guide to bring God's healing power into your recovery process. Each chapter includes questions for self-reflection and group discussion.
