Reviews & Testimonials

"A deeply honest and emotional journey out of shame, rejection and control into the awakening of Acceptance, Love, and Freedom. Rob Bruce writes a compelling account of a life once torn apart by rejection and shame, now set free by the embrace of the Father-heart of God. A powerful story that brings Hope to all. "

"This is a brutally honest story of change. Whatever you think transformation means, this is a vivid picture of that process. Rob’s detailed description of his painful childhood followed by his tragic failings in ministry leaves the reader with a clear picture of a “Grace that does not quit and will never let you go.”
Do you have unprocessed pain from childhood? Do you notice dysfunctional protective thinking operating in your life? Is this costing more than you ever imagined? Written in a highly readable style, this book will help you unravel your own issues by opening your heart to the healing thinking and presence of Jesus. I heartily recommend it."

"The best way I can describe Rob’s engaging journey “through the valley of the shadow of death” is that he turns the lights on! The light of God’s truth has a wonderful way of dissipating the lies we’ve come to believe about ourselves and shining brightly on the profound relentless love of our Father.

His descriptive wading through the mud of physical, verbal, and spiritual abuse and how he moved Beyond Abuse is profoundly simple. Rob’s style is easy to read and understand, encouraging and challenging. As a pastor, I will happily give many of these books away to my fellow strugglers."
