It takes courage to face the raw truth—a truth characterized by molestation, incest, physical abuse, domestic violence, denial, fear, shame, and pain. It takes God to help clean out a closet of that magnitude—the family's closet. Journey with author Delton Adams Sr. as he recounts a horrific life story exposing his very dark and evil childhood from hell. Death had viciously sprinted after me since age three when my female babysitter would oftentimes suffocate me with her extreme acts of sexual abuse. At age seven, my next babysitter made me think that I might bleed to death after repeatedly raping me in spite of him being my uncle. And at the begging mercy of my father's Hitler-like dictatorship parenting, I was sure to die whenever he violently beat me upside down with that drop cord as if I were a disobedient slave-child. The sight of my own blood became commonplace between the trauma of my extreme physical abuse and rape sessions. My mother was helpless because extreme domestic violence was a part of her daily survival. Eventually in my adulthood, I qualified for a desperately needed divine intervention plan to break a fifth-generation curse which I chronicled back to the 1800s. Loving women and being attracted to men simultaneously had destroyed my marriage and several times almost cost me my life due to self-destructive behaviors. My inner struggle for divine purpose became a daily mental battle, but God has assured me already that I'm an overcomer. This book tackles very complex and diverse social issues with real talk. It is a personal testament of a man able to move beyond betrayal and mistrust that strongly influenced his perceptions and personal behavior for much of his life. This book will help you to: • face your shame, fears, and pain courageously; • avoid the paths of self-destruction; and • bring healing and deliverance to your broken heart and soul to move forward. If it's time for a breakthrough in your life, this is the book you must read. The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of the sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised (Luke 4:18).
