“Titanic” – one of the most wildly successful films of all time – was recently rereleased in theaters in 3D, reminding moviegoers how amazing stories can spring from the well of terrible tragedies. Offering her own tragedy-to-triumph story, Ann Wagner delivers her new inspirational book, “Hope For The Hurting: A Personal Account of Overcoming Abuse and Betrayal and Gaining the Victory” (published by WestBow Press).
The memories Wagner shares aren’t easy to hear. “Hope For The Hurting” explores the haunting experience of being sexually abused by the pastor of her church. As she recalls, the person who was accused of abusing her and committing multiple sexual crimes died abruptly days before he was to face trial, leaving Wagner feeling frustrated and carrying unresolved hurt.
Wagner eventually found a way to put the pain behind her. Through the help of a counselor, and by relying on God and the Bible, she was able to experience healing. “Although I never saw earthly justice, I have hope and peace through principles that I have come to learn and accept,” she says. “This experience inspired me to share the things that I have learned with others.”
