WATCH OUT! GODLY WOMEN ON THE LOOSE
Corallie Thornton
Ark House Press
As a child Corallie Thornton barely survived the pain of living with her dysfunctional family. Life became even more unbearable when she reached her middle teens. But though many troubles, trials and the grace of a loving Father God she survived and eventually became a dynamic and confident young Christian woman. She is now committed to using her experiences to help others to victory.
Godly Women is a touching book designed to help women (and men, too) of all ages identify the basic lie they believe about God, themselves and others. Healing from the past is a process that cannot not begin until we come out of denial and allow God access to deal with our past hurts and lies believed. Corallie speaks God’s truth and uses helpful word pictures to enable understanding of the plight of hurting people who feel so bound to the past. Godly Women is scripturally sound and I thoroughly recommend it as a significant healing tool for those who have been neglected or abused, those who minister to them and also those who would just be a friend.

WATCH OUT! GODLY WOMEN ON THE LOOSE
Corallie Thornton

The author came from a dysfunctional and abusive family background. But her personal experiences comprise only a small part of this book. After her own life was turned around, she decided to assist others who have experienced a similar upbringing. Her approach is far from mild mannered. She strongly urges abused women to wake up to reality and to avoid band-aid solutions while encouraging them to strive to reach their full God-given potential. Her call to action is Bible centred. The first section on decision making focuses on the drama of Moses crossing the Red Sea to free the Israelites from bondage. Daniel is cited as an example of a Christ-centred life. The second section uses avian imagery to describe the different stages of developing a relationship with God. In the third part there are studies on coping with past hurts, adapting a positive attitude and working to forgive perpetrators of abuse. The final part deals with the many aspects of God as a father figure. Recommended as a worthwhile addition to a church library. NS

Sharing from her own history of depression, negativity and even suicidal thoughts, Thornton shows how God has set her free from the bondage of her past. She encourages other women to discover their self-worth in Christ and to live as free, redeemed people. WN
