Abuse in any form is devastating, and stories of abuse are never easy to tell-and they are certainly never easy to live. Yet there are many avenues that people take to seek a deep, inner healing of the heart, mind, body, and spirit, and for Ruth Almada, telling her story would be part of her journey. Strength in Scars is one mother's story of facing, defeating, and moving beyond the many accounts of abuse in her family. Author Ruth Almada shares a raw and authentic story about the realities of abuse that she and many others have faced-realties that many are far too ashamed to even talk about. Yet she boldly speaks her mind and brings hidden abuses to the surface, where she is able to bring hope to those suffering the same fate. Amid personal tragedy, and with God's grace, she discovered a purpose that was so profound that it changed the course of her life-and no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. It can be overwhelming and difficult to share your greatest and deepest, darkest pain completely to help another, especially when it exposes generational lines of shame and humiliation. Yet hope can come from these fires of pain, and enough is enough-especially when the answer is much easier than some choose to believe.

Her story is inspiring, in that it shows with Christ, the path towards forgiveness is possible. What an inspiration! With Christ ALL things are possible. Thank you Ruth Almada for having the courage to share.

Best Book I've read this far!
I can't wait to finish reading this book. I just can't stop but I need to read after all my responsibility at home are done. I'm a single mom of two boys and this book speaks my language. I'm a victorious women who is aware of the general curses that I've rebuked and continue to fight for my kids and their children children. I'm so grateful and believe my calling is also defending these victims. I thought my situation was the weirdest one but I ain't the only one. I now know I have authority to cast out those generational curses out and to break the chains of torment.
