Unrestrained – by Caroline Cameron

24 08 2024

Caroline is a colleague of mine who kindly gave us each a copy of her book when she joined our team a year or two ago, and I finally sat down to read it.

In the book she shares her story of abuse, including some truly awful examples of specific incidents, but also, her testimony of how God brought her through it.

The way it’s written means that, while the content is really harrowing at times, it’s actually really easy to read; the chapters are short, each ending in a space for pause and reflection. In fact, the further you get through it, the more it feels uplifting as you see how there really is hope after abuse.

It really feels like it’s written for those who are suffering or have suffered abuse, but it’s helpful for anyone to read to give a better basis to support those we may know now or in the future who suffer through this.





Uganda – testimony

30 10 2013

I just wanted to share a little bit of testimony from the week

I have problems with anxiety disorder, have done for years, and last year got bad enough to go on anti depressants. Sometimes panic attacks are triggered by nothing particular, but high pressure situations are often tricky. E.g. last month I went to the theatre and in the interval I had my worst panic attack in 6 years.

So I never expected to get through a week in a new country, new continent, new food, new people, new all sorts – it was going to be difficult. I thought that even if I managed to remain in control all week I’d at least be fighting it and it’d be hard work.

I was fine ALL WEEK. Other than a slight issue with breakfast on the first day which didn’t even feel that anxiety like, I didn’t even feel a slight hint of it. I had many friends and colleagues praying for me over the week and God massively exceeded my expectations!!!

Praise God!!
