What readers are saying about Life Beyond the Scars: "Kelly walks through the process of recovery from painful wounds with refreshing honesty about the struggles along the way.  This book makes a very important contribution to victims of abuse, helping them understand the ambivalence that surrounds abuse, its impact on relationships, the damage passed on, and the hope that is there for those who will stay with the story that God is writing through their lives." Mark Bonham Executive Director Open Hearts Ministry, Inc.   ____________________ "What an honor to read Kelly's work.  Life Beyond the Scars is a sweetly hopeful and brutally honest labor.  I hope it touches many." Dan B. Allender, PhD  President, Mars Hill Graduate School  and author of The Wounded Heart  ____________________ "Kelly has openly and honestly told her story of abuse in Life Beyond the Scars.  The insight into the nature of her struggles and the testimony she gives about how a loving God brought healing to her life is both hopeful and encouraging.  For others seeking healing for their past wounds, it is a guiding light for the journey."     Rick Beemer  Pastor and Licensed Professional Counselor  ___________________    "Kelly is a gentle and encouraging companion to those of us who have suffered abuse, tenderly exhorting us not to wallow in self-destructive ways but to abandon ourselves to our loving Father God, the only One who will never leave us or forsake us. As a fellow abuse victim also redeemed by God's grace, reading Kelly's book reminded me that what others intended for evil in my life, God has and will continue to use for good...my own good, the good of others around me, and most of all, for His glory."
