Melinda Todd: “How I Forgave My Molester” Book Review

I recently had the chance to read new author Melinda Todd’s first book How I Forgave My Molester. A short and easy read, this book shares Melinda’s personal testimony of finding freedom from unforgiveness and poor self-image through Jesus Christ. 

Giving personal details, but not going too far for the sake of the reader, Melinda describes her guilt and hatred toward her uncle who caused her so much hurt. She tells how she felt rejected and proceeded to hide the pain by brainwashing herself into thinking that everything was okay, but it eventually only made things worse. Though looking for love in other things, it never came. 

After sharing her story, Melinda shares how healing finally came and how anyone can have freedom from this kind of guilt, but really any type of situation. Most enjoyable about this section of the short book was how Melinda shared that God’s Word is the only thing that can set you free, and gives plenty of Scripture verses to combat this issue — not just unforgiveness, but also knowing that you can overcome anything through Christ who gives you strength! Also, hearing Melinda’s heart for other people in her situation was very refreshing. 

How I Forgave My Molester is totally worth the read! An easy reader, packed with valuable information on how to forgive, this book is not just for those who struggle with this issue, but really for anyone who needs healing from deep hurts. You’ll learn much through this book — be sure to check it on Amazon for only $3.99!
