Book Review – Two Books – Rags to Rabbi and Destroyed from Within

Hello Everyone,

I had the opportunity to read two books recently, titled “Rags to Rabbi,” and  “Destroyed from Within.”  Reading through these books the author uses her own life story to describe the power of God to bring healing, in Yeshua the Messiah, even under the worst of circumstances.  The author has a unique ability to draw the reader into the storyline and it was difficult to put the books down until finished reading. Carmen Welker, in brutal reality, speaks of her struggles in life, and how gracious and merciful our Father in Heaven is to each one of us.  I highly recommend the following books…

“Rags to Rabbi” – the author’s own story – pulls no punches as it reveals, in graphic detail, the horrors of sexual abuse. It should be read by anyone who has ever been mentally or sexually abused because, in the end, the book shows that there IS healing – and that this healing comes NOT from secular psychiatrists, but ONLY from God, who is able to heal from the inside out. The story, which unfolds chronologically from early childhood on, is one of rejection, mental and sexual abuse and indescribable horrors at the hands of Carmen’s natural mother and adoptive father, who happened to be a raving pedophile. It follows her struggles with life and relationships as she fought the demons of her past – which remained well into middle age, when she finally found peace in God. This book should be required reading for any pedophile/sexual predator so they can finally see an “in your face” description of the terror they impose on their innocent victims, whose lives are usually ruined!
