Learning to find Jesus Dec 31, 2007
Patti's book was a gift to me in a time when I am searching for answers to what I felt were unsolvable family problems. My problems have nothing to do with the abuse that Patti went through, but her openness touched my heart and opened a path to God through Jesus. I pray to God, an abstraction in my mind, but never heard the story of Jesus written so personally. I thank Patti for her insight and her loving direction to find peace within.
God Bless You for sharing your story Patti.
Love, Laurie

No Matter What There is Hope and Life Sep 18, 2007
I just want to say that this is a very excellent book for any person who has gone through the trauma of sexual abuse or even physical abuse of any kind. It also has great step by step answers to everyone's questions about why we are here, why God made us, and why he loves us unconditionally, no matter what we have done or what others may have done to us. It shows you how to get your life back and so much more even if it was stollen by someone else. It is very simple and easy to understand for anyone. I'd suggest it for battered women shelters and Pastors, too.

Great Guide to Overcome Obstacles Feb 21, 2007
The author gives a wonderful view of how to overcome the hard to understand obstacles of life. She explains how she personally overcame through her faith and explains how to implement the same relationship with God to help you overcome the trials that you have endured.
A great book to remind you of God's love and to help you heal.

 Two books in one Jan 11, 2007
The author has a potential second book in the works with the second half of Betrayed, Broken and Defiled.The book is the true story of the author's abuse inflicted upon her by adoptive parents and the affects this abuse has on her actions for years to come. Her candor will haunt the reader for days!
The second part of the book explains how she got herself out of the "mess" of a life she created and it was no overnight resolution. I learned a lot from the second half of the book about forgiveness, I liked her explanation of how forgiveness became an option in our life..through God and Jesus. It was written in everyday words, at times humoured, easy to understand.... a great teaching tool for young people. I applaud her ability to offer such an explanation in terms so easily understood and so easy to read.
I hope she continues her writing!

A book of love, hope, victory instead of victimhood! Jan 08, 2007
To start, what a blessing to have received this book directly from the Author ~ I will be eternally grateful for the gift of Love bestowed upon me. To continue: a betrayed, broken, defiled person can and does walk around aimlessly in a vast world feeling alone and without hope, not always knowing that there is the saving Grace of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that it is available 24/7 to restore, heal and redeem. In "Betrayed Broken Defiled: The Story of A Good Life After Abuse" by Patti Theisen shows in an honest and forthright manner, all of the circumstances and situations a person can and does go through in a struggle to hang-on, exist or survive. By going through these very kind of situations herself, she gives a refreshing and candid portrayal of what it is like to take every avenue, every treacherous road to the ultimate road of LOVE and FREEDOM. One of the largest problems Christians face begins at the time of their salvation, having a lack of understanding as to what needs to happen or what has happened to them or what they believe. In many instances a person is given a brief knowledge of Christ through several different examples used to evangelize. Patti's fresh, and honest approach is not only an instructed on how to become a new Christian but how to be a new Christians the books narrations guides us on how to ask, repent, forgive, receive and move onward to a solid foundation upon which to begin a journey and sustain a lasting and wonderful relationship with God, free from condemnation and strife. Her honesty lets us know that the path is not always a smooth and comfortable road but the experience can and does provide a solid foundation upon which to build a Christian lifestyle, which starts with a basic understanding of what the salvation of God is, how to obtain it and how to sustain it. This helps the reader obtain forgiveness, sanctification, redemption, and salvation but most of all the LOVE through the Blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who is and was and will always, be. She shows that she understands and she is a true friend who is there to back up what she preaches. God Bless you Patti Theisen, your honesty, love and devotion to writing this book is an inspiration to a once victim'ed' person and reiterates that being a VICTOR is a far better path to travel in this journey called "Born Again"~LIFE. Rock on Sister in Christ and I pray that God richly blesses you as you and the people who unite with you continue to point all people to the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yehoshua.
