Silent Child

Toni Maguire, Emily Smith

Unlike people with carefree previous lives, I packed away my past. There are some memories labeled 'Look at', and others 'Leave well alone' . . . 
 
 
 
Emily Smith was held in a prison of fear for ten years. When she was four, her father left and a new man was brought into her life. He loved her, he kept telling her so, but the emotional and physical abuse she suffered at his hands were a daily nightmare. Until one day, after he crept into her bedroom, her life became unbearable. 
 
 
 
Emily found she was different in another way as her autism became more noticeable and punishments for her 'abnormal' behavior more severe. Astonishingly, she managed to escape her home of hell, where she was abused right in front of her mother. Emily determinedly gained a university place and emerged triumphant with a new life and family in Ireland, desperate to treat her daughter, so similar to her, to a different life. 
 
 
 
Heartbreakingly true, Silent Child is a testament to Emily's strength as she sheds light on rampant abuse still happening today. Powerful and shocking, sharing her story means she finally has a voice to say: enough. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

Kathie Lee Gifford, Rabbi Jason...

Waiting on God and trusting him in the process is one of the hardest things for any believer.
In this six-session audio Bible study, the authors of The Rock, The Road, and the Rabbi Kathie Lee Gifford and Rabbi Jason Sobel will take you back to the Holy Land where God made his covenant with people like Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Joshua, and Mary. You'll study their stories and how God delivered on the promises he made to each of them.
Throughout Scripture, we see God weaving his plan through the lives of people who had to step out in faith long before they understood what their Creator was up to. Their questions then are ours today: How can we learn to trust in God's timing and God's methods?
The God of the How and When (part 1 of The God of the Way Study Series) will show you how God is still building his Kingdom through the lives of the followers of Jesus—and how you're a part of this amazing story.
