"I asked Justin Holcomb what is the Holcombs’ desire in providing Rid Of My Disgrace. “You want something to happen out there in people’s lives. What is the one impact you long for most of all?” His beautiful answer:
“The disgrace that results from sexual assault has a way of grinding people down and heaping huge burdens on them. Because of it people feel lonely, filthy, worthless, repulsive, hopeless, and unwanted. Our hope is that God will use the clear Gospel message of the book to eliminate that disgrace and its effects. What victims need is for God to be strong when they are weak and to be close to the brokenhearted. We want people to experience God fulfilling his promises to them. We pray that God uses the book to apply the grace from Jesus deeper than the wounds people have experienced.”
With the tsunami of sin, and its abuses of all kinds, slamming us today, may our churches be safe havens where violated people experience the deeper grace of Jesus in the gospel."
