Breakout Non-Fiction Work Titled, “BUT HE CALLS ME BLESSED! When the Unbelievable Happens to Believers”, an Inspirational Religious Book by Sarah Udoh-Grossfurthner Released World-Wide.
Vienna, Austria (August 25, 2012) — At the age of 15 Rhea, a young Christian girl, was raped by a gang of gun-wielding robbers during a church convention. There followed 18 years of extreme psychological trauma during which Rhea went from loving God (as she had been brought up to by her deeply religious parents) to hating Him with a passion. According to Rhea, at one point in her life only the loathing she developed for her own self could equal her hatred for God and all things godly. This hatred, she said, was so virulent that it became an ordeal to take a simple bath, as she could not stand to touch herself. How Rhea went from this awful extreme back to loving God all over again is woven by Sarah in this pain-filled but extremely inspirational narration.
Rhea’s is just one of the five remarkable stories in Sarah Udoh-Grossfurthner’s, BUT HE CALLS ME BLESSED! When the Unbelievable Happens to Believers – ISBN 9781622870387. The book aims to encourage by showing that it is possible to have hope even in the most desperate of situations. According to Sarah, “There’s always a nugget of wisdom to be derived from any given situation, it all depends on who’s doing the mining.”
What readers have to say about Sarah’s book…
“The stories are amazing. They are crafted in such a way that the reader is drawn into the depths of desire, despair, hope, faith and resilience. I was particularly moved by “Silvana’s Story”. I just could not put it down till I’d finished the story.” — Uduak-Abasi Akpabio, Nigeria.
“I read these stories and they invoked such an array of emotions for me ranging from anger to sadness to joy. To make it short and sweet, you cannot read these stories without feeling something because the writer causes or enables you to almost step into the lives of these women and share their journey…totally emotive and faith stirring!” — Taiwo Adegbite, London.
More on what Sarah has to say concerning her book…
“The solutions to other people’s suffering can often times be culled from the experiences of others. Irrespective of their religious orientation, race or position within the society, it is my greatest wish that many lives will be changed for the better as a result of this book. There’s one truism, and it is that there’s more that unites all humanity than that which divides them.
“In conclusion, the real heroes of our world are often the voiceless of our society. I am honored to be the voice of the women in this book.”
Sarah’s first prose release, BUT HE CALLS ME BLESSED! is available in eBook form, ISBN 9781622870387, through Amazon.com, BN.com and wherever eBooks are sold on-line.
