Desperately Healed...My Journey to Wholeness: 2 (Rescuing Children - Healing Adults) - Softcover

Surviving the kind of oppressive poverty, neglect and terrifying abuse Robert Day suffered as a child implores the question asked by so many: “How did you get out ... how did you find healing?” Childhood trauma leaves an intensely painful wound on the adult, long after the child is grown. In this, his second of a three-part series, Robert shares the emotions, mistakes and often excruciating steps necessary to find, and eventually embrace, that place of “wholeness.”

Author Robert J. Day's childhood of poverty and unspeakable abuse included more than 35 temporary homes before his unlikely graduation from high school. Today, Robert serves as CEO of Patrick Henry Family Services, a faith-based nonprofit headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. His life's work is dedicated to keeping children safe and families strong. Robert has also built a strong following as the host of "Straight Talk," a popular daily broadcast dealing with some of the most challenging issues facing children and families today. Robert Day's moving, inspiring testimony, together with his unique and timely perspective on today's culture, has made him a sought after keynote speaker for conferences, civic audiences, churches and beyond.
