Freedom from the Pain of Sexual Abuse is Possible: 'Violated: Mercy for Sexual Abuse' Offers Help, Hope for Young Women
ENUMCLAW, Washington, April 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- One out of every three women has experienced sexual abuse. "Any time a person is coerced against their will into engaging in any type of sexual activity, that is abuse," says Nancy Alcorn, who has over 25 years of experience working with young women who have suffered sexual abuse.
"Sexual abuse is a horrifying part of many women's reality, but it does not have to define who they are," says Alcorn, whose faith-based nonprofit organization has positively impacted the lives of thousands of troubled young women. "God wants to bring healing and wholeness to women who have been abused so they can live an abundant life and not simply survive from one day to the next."
Alcorn encourages victims of sexual abuse to stop masking their torment and speak up. "Exposing the secret of abuse is the beginning of the journey to healing," she says.
Alcorn's new book, "Violated: Mercy for Sexual Abuse"-the latest in her "Mercy For..." series-walks women through how to find freedom from the effects of sexual abuse. Alcorn writes:
"Exposing the secret of abuse is the beginning of the journey to healing. You have a choice to blame God for your pain and turn your back on Him, or to trust the only one who has the ability to heal your heart and set you free from the shame of being sexually abused... As you understand your true value in Christ, you will be able to break free from the bondage of sexual abuse."
Alcorn's book includes testimonies from young women who once had no hope but who now live with joy and freedom. A special section for parents, counselors, and pastors advises them how to care for someone who seeks healing from sexual abuse.
"I want girls to know they can be set free from the pain that comes from being sexually abused," says Alcorn. "Through applying the principles in this book and the truth from God's word to their everyday lives, their thought processes will be changed and they will discover real and lasting freedom. God will help them put the shattered pieces of their heart back together."

Breaking the Cycle of Addiction: 'Trapped : Mercy for Addictions' Offers Help, Hope for Young Women
Breaking the Cycle of Addiction: 'Trapped : Mercy for Addictions' Offers Help, Hope for Young Women
ENUMCLAW, Washington, April 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- During their lifetime, 27 percent of Americans will suffer from some type of substance abuse. Addictions often begin when people try alcohol or drugs to escape from family dysfunction, abusive relationships, or painful emotions. Little do they realize that their means of escape is the doorway to their captivity.
"An addiction is like walking around with an iron ball and chain shackled to your leg," says Nancy Alcorn, who has over 25 years of experience helping addicted young women. "It goes with you everywhere, weighs you down from reaching your full potential, and it controls your life."
In "Trapped: Mercy for Addictions," the latest book in her "Mercy For..." series, Alcorn offers hope for women who want to break free from addictions."There is mercy for addictions," she says. "The cycle of addiction can be broken, even if it is a generational pattern in your family."
Alcorn wrote "Trapped" to help women learn practical ways to acknowledge, identify, and eliminate an addiction from their life. For Alcorn, conquering an addiction begins with God: "He will always give you a way out when you are tempted."
Alcorn helps women understand that freedom from an addiction is a daily process that requires one's mind to be renewed through God's Word. "Breaking free from an addiction is not easy," cautions Alcorn, "but it is worth the abundant life that God has for you."
Alcorn's book details ways women can make intentional choices to place themselves in a healthy environment, speak truth, embrace their identity in Christ, and passionately pursue the incredible life God has for them.
In her book, Alcorn writes: "There is no substance on this earth that will ever be able to fill the void in your life...only God can heal the pain and release you from the need to turn to these addictive behaviors. His solution is not temporary; His Truth will leave a permanent impact on your life."
