Breakout
Non-Fiction Work Titled, "BUT HE CALLS ME BLESSED! When the
Unbelievable Happens to Believers", an Inspirational Religious
Book by Sarah Udoh-Grossfurthner Released World-Wide.
Vienna,
Austria (August 25, 2012) -- At the age of 15 Rhea, a young
Christian girl, was raped by a gang of gun-wielding robbers during a
church convention. There followed 18 years of extreme psychological
trauma during which Rhea went from loving God (as she had been
brought up to by her deeply religious parents) to hating Him with a
passion. According to Rhea, at one point in her life only the
loathing she developed for her own self could equal her hatred for
God and all things godly. This hatred, she said, was so virulent that
it became an ordeal to take a simple bath, as she could not stand to
touch herself. How Rhea went from this awful extreme back to loving
God all over again is woven by Sarah in this pain-filled but
extremely inspirational narration.
Rhea’s
is just one of the five remarkable stories in Sarah
Udoh-Grossfurthner’s, BUT HE CALLS ME BLESSED! When the
Unbelievable Happens to Believers – ISBN 9781622870387. The book
aims to encourage by showing that it is possible to have hope even in
the most desperate of situations. According to Sarah, “There’s
always a nugget of wisdom to be derived from any given situation, it
all depends on who’s doing the mining.”
What
readers have to say about Sarah’s book...
"The
stories are amazing. They are crafted in such a way that the reader
is drawn into the depths of desire, despair, hope, faith and
resilience. I was particularly moved by “Silvana's Story”. I just
could not put it down till I'd finished the story." --
Uduak-Abasi Akpabio, Nigeria.
“I
read these stories and they invoked such an array of emotions for me
ranging from anger to sadness to joy. To make it short and sweet, you
cannot read these stories without feeling something because the
writer causes or enables you to almost step into the lives of these
women and share their journey...totally emotive and faith stirring!”
-- Taiwo Adegbite, London.
More
on what Sarah has to say concerning her book...
“The
solutions to other people’s suffering can often times be culled
from the experiences of others. Irrespective of their religious
orientation, race or position within the society, it is my greatest
wish that many lives will be changed for the better as a result of
this book. There’s one truism, and it is that there’s more that
unites all humanity than that which divides them.
“In
conclusion, the real heroes of our world are often the voiceless of
our society. I am honored to be the voice of the women in this book.”
Sarah’s
first prose release, BUT HE CALLS ME BLESSED! is available in eBook
