A Child from the Inside Out is a memoir of suffering, friendship, and faith. I was but a student counselor when Lucinda blew into my life. We learned together as her sad and almost unbelievable story of abuse and suffering came to light. Together, we faced sexual abuse, satanic ritual abuse, mental illness, and suicide attempts. Her personality, fractured into many pieces, needed to be mended. So together we walked a long and difficult road as the pieces of her personality started coming together through both therapeutic counseling and deliverance ministry. In the end, it is the light of Christ that overcomes darkness so that she begins to taste freedom. "We have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts" (1 Peter 1:19).
