Going Public - A Survivor’s...

Julie Macfarlane

It took Julie Macfarlane a lifetime to say the words out loud — the words that finally broke the calm and traveled farther than she could have imagined. In this clear-eyed account, she confronts her own silence and deeply rooted trauma to chart a remarkable course from sexual abuse victim to agent of change.
		 
Going Public merges the worlds of personal and professional, activism and scholarship. Drawing upon decades of legal training, Macfarlane decodes the well-worn methods used by church, school, and state to silence survivors, from first reporting to cross-examination to non-disclosure agreements. At the same time, she lays bare the isolation and exhaustion of going public in her own life, as she takes her abuser to court, challenges her colleagues, and weathers a defamation lawsuit.
		 
The result is far more than a memoir. It’s a courageous and essential blueprint on how to go toe-to-toe with the powers behind institutional abuse and protectionism. At long last, Macfarlane’s experiences bring her to the most important realization of her life: that only she can stand in her own shoes, and only she can stand up and speak about what happened to her.

George Müller, David G Allen

Faith That Fed Thousands: The True Story of George Müller’s Radical Trust in God 
What happens when one man decides to rely on prayer alone to meet every need? 
Sincere attempts to define George Müller as a preacher, evangelist, or a man who cared for the poor, fail to illustrate why you should read about him. 
The man who cared for over 10,000 orphans and established 120 schools is best remembered for the principles by which he lived his life - principles that are now within your reach. 
Hear, in Müller’s own words, his early days caught in theft and deceit, his conversion to Christ, his reliance upon the Bible alone as his foundation for truth. Hear of his faith – grown large enough to move mountains. 
In this first part, Müller documents those initial mountains down the nearest penny, the thinnest spool of thread, and the last soul hungry for the gospel. All achieved without a salary, nor requesting any donation from anyone. 
Now turned into an audiobook, with chapter headings, plus an introduction by author and narrator David G. Allen, this version of A Narration gives readers appropriate resting points, a sense of direction, and greater anticipation of each step in Müller’s journey. 
It’s more than an autobiography. It’s a living testimony of what faith can do. 
Explore a life whose legacy is sealed in the record books of heaven.
