MY TWO FATHERS
Author: ELVIRA THOMAS
This book tells my story of childhood trauma that affected the
most important relationship in my life. I grew up under the
control of an extremely abusive father. Love was mixed with
what I can only describe as hate, and sweet family memories
were overshadowed by fear and anxiety. It was not until I
reached adulthood that I realized how much this trauma
affected my view of God. My Heavenly Father was so different
from my earthly father, but yet I related one to the other, and
the mistrust of one caused the mistrust of the other. It was
a long, emotional journey, but truly God redeems. It took a
long time for me to realize that I was not alone. People carry
a lot of baggage, they carry a lot of memories, and they carry
a lot of pain. This book is to let people know that they are not
alone and that healing is definitely within their reach. My
hope is that parents read this and take seriously the impact
they have on their children’s lives. I also hope the people who
have suffered pain and abuse would hold on tightly to God.
He is ultimately our Healer.
