First, I can usually talk about my sexual abuse without tearing up. I don't feel strange or odd when talking about the experience. To the contrary, speaking about male sexual assault, and especially when I tell about my own, strengthens me.
Second--and some men never make this stage--I look back and thank God. I'm not thankful for the abuse, but I am thankful for the good things that have come out of my dealing with it.

You are living proof that God doesn't waste pain. Your book is excellent. I have one copy as a resource and one to share. Thanks for allowing God to transform your pain into hope for others. Carolyn Ruch, Tamar's Redemption
