Description

Evelyn’s story is a must read for everyone. It shows how some mothers through cultural beliefs and practices can abuse their own children. Where does a daughter run to when the parents are maltreating her? In many places, it is the home of a pastor. However, in the case of Evelyn, her own pastors also confirmed the distressing cultural beliefs and practices and used them as instruments of abuse against her. When almost all trusted persons of society failed her, it was the strong faith in God and the faith of her husband in the Lord that helped to rescue Evelyn and restore confidence in her as a human being, with potentials and gifts. Many important lessons can be learned from the book; these include the projection of thoughts, the carefulness needed in the interpretation of dreams, the effect of human cruelty and the importance of faith in God. You need one.
