I would be blessed if you would sign my quest book while you are there. I also ask for your prayerful support that the Lord will use the radio interview to reach as many people as possible that struggle with hopelessness due to the damage from childhood abuse.

If you do buy a copy of my book, I pray that it blesses you and affirms the truth in your heart, that you are NEVER abandoned by your "Daddy" no matter how much proof there seems to be to the contrary.

You can listen to me on the radio!

I believe it is a wonderful gift from the Lord that Skip Rice with KTLF 90.5 chose to interview me on his morning show after reading my book. The interview will be airing on Monday, the 28th around 7:40 am Mountain Time. They are on the web so if you are not local to the area, all you have to do is go to www.ktlf.org and on the home page click on "listen live". In a matter of seconds you will be listening to the station. I request that you pray for the Lord to use this to get the word of my testimony out to all who can be blessed and given hope by it. My book will also be available in hard copy through my website as of Monday morning. Thank you for all of your prayerful support and encouragement.

OPPS!!!

I thought that writing the book was difficult! Self publishing is just as hard, only in different ways. Without my dear friend Jenny....this just wouldn't be happening! We have encounted a few technical difficulties so the book will not be available til Monday, the 28th. I apologize for any inconvenience but we want the book to be as close to perfect as is possible. Thank you for your patience with this process. May the Lord bless you and keep you happy and safe throughout your day today.

With The Lord's Help, I Am Now A Published Author!

The last 3 years have been quite a journey and many of you have been here with me the whole time....well and longer than that for some. I cannot tell you how much your encouragement and prayerful support has blessed me through the turbulent years. While it was a huge victory to finish writing the book, actually getting it out there for others to read is an even larger victory. It was actually available online through my website as an eBook on the 6th of this month. But as of Thursday, the 24th, it will also be available as a hard copy. If you go to www.HeShowedMeWhy.com and click on the link, it will take you to the place on Amazon where it can be ordered. I am humbly requesting that you go through my website instead of directly to Amazon because I literally get twice the royalty that way. I was going to hold off on using Amazon's Create Space for hard copies until I made enough on eBook copies to pay for it all myself but have come to realize that no matter how much some people might want to read my story, they won't order an eBook. So, in trying to be flexible, I am going this route a lot sooner than planned. There are those of you that were very supportive of my writing process and I just want to thank you again and am blessed to be able to show you that it was not in vain. You were used by the Lord and I still thank Him for you. You know who you ARE! I welcome any thoughts or feelings you might have about the book after you have read it. Amazon reader reviews would be very appreciated as well. So, let's see what the Lord plans to do with this huh? It's all according to His plan anyway! Blessings!

COMING SOON as an ebook "He Showed Me Why - A Memoir of an abuse survivor and former cult member"


Wow! I couldn't believe it when I saw the date of my last entry. Time truly does fly. I know I have said this before, but I do believe this time really is different. There will be much more consistent entries from this point on.

So what is different THIS TIME Beryl? Well, there were things the Lord needed to do in me before I could publish my book, "He Showed Me Why". Those are the same things that I needed to be consistent in writing on this blog. He has been working much healing in my heart and giving me a focus I haven't had before. Let's face it....publishing my book is an entirely different thing than I have ever done before. I am wasting my time self publishing if I am not going to be committed to promoting it. After all, I'm not just the co-author (God is the Author) but I am also the agent and publisher. This blog is part of God's plan that is now set in motion and I don't intend to do anything to hold His plan up!

That being said, this entry is strictly devoted to announcing that my book, "He Showed Me Why" is going to be available in ebook format as of March 6, 2011. Since I am self-publishing, I am solely responsible for funding and let's just say, um, I don't have any! Well, very little anyway. So doing it as an ebook first will allow me to make the money to then print hard copies. I only need to sell 62 ebooks to make enough money to print 50 hard copies which I feel confident is more than attainable.

It will be available through my website at http://www.heshowedmewhy.com/ with a link to pay through PayPal which is very secure. I appreciate all of your support and any thoughts or questions that you may have once you have read it. This probably won't come as a shock if you have followed my entries through the years, but it isn't an easy read, HOWEVER, it has a GREAT ending!
