My Joy Comes in the Morning: Finding Hope and Spiritual Healing from Sexual Assault and Child Sexual Abuse Chantel Plautz

The night is over. But the morning is upon us.

You are not alone. Sexual assault and child sexual abuse happen too often in our society. Victims are forced to deal with the pain, anger, and frustration long after their incidents occur, causing them to wonder if they'll ever be able to trust again, if there's any hope for them moving forward, but there is. And you can.

My Joy Comes in the Morning is a story of survival and growth, aimed at victims who seek healing through Jesus Christ. This book provides practical tools and resources for sexual abuse victims to heal and thrive through strength and Christianity. Written by a survivor, this guide not only documents the author's own arduous journey toward healing, but it offers real-life strategies to overcome trauma and to not let your incidents haunt you. With questions for reflection and a healing prayer at the end of each chapter, it outlines the paths you can take to acknowledge your trauma, let God heal you, and overcome your pain and suffering.
