"Abuse Survivors: Self-Guided Retreat, a memoir of healing" invites the reader into a journey of spiritual healing through stories, prayers, guided meditation, journaling and scripture. The personal stories of Judy Brutz give insight into life experiences. Prayers sparked by the Lords Prayer offer grace-filled moments of understanding. Guided meditations invite exploration of self through imaging, creating mandalas and collages, or in walking a labyrinth. Journaling provides prompts for processing meditative experience. Scriptures at the end of each chapter relate to the name or descriptor for God used earlier in the Lords Prayer. Each chapter is a mini-retreat. Abuse survivors as well as spiritual directors, clergy, mental health providers, and people in the creative arts will find this work to be inspirational.

Some might say that ‘Prayer is the gateway to living God’s Love.’ I find this to be true, whether we lived during the Suffragette struggles, during the Civil Rights Movement or with the Water is Life Stand. Prayer brings us into a closer relationship with our Beloved Creator and Redeemer and the way opens for us to live Love even in the face of adversity and violent attackers. You will find in these pages statements to contemplate, suggestions of prayer and Biblical verses to ponder. (Note: the prayers are written by Judy Brutz, unless otherwise attributed.)

Praying the Lord's Prayer is far more than a rote memorization, it is an invitation to open to the Holy One to gift you with fresh words useful for your specific situation while maintaining the integrity of the original prayer message. Judy Brutz gifts us with fifty prayers and an invitation to journal. This book is a sequel to Crying Out to God in the Manner of the Lord's Prayer, also by Judy Brutz.
