Raw and powerful

This audio book doesn’t cut corners in regards to the testimonies of sexual traumas. I recommend this book to all men that were affected by sexual abuse.

Great Book

Started the book last night finished this morning. I could not put it down. The information was very insightful and thought provoking. Thank you to the men who shared their stories and growth experiences.

Must Hear

A very informative topic for those who have been abused and felt ashamed of themselves.

I can hear it….

This is an amazing audio. I can hear the pain, the statistics and the victory. I recommend this audiobook to all listeners who want to learn more about men surviving sexual trauma.

A true survivor

This book is a definite must read these young men had to endure so much yet survived. I’m glad you shared these stories true survivor I pray everyone heals

Brilliant!

There were moments I had to stop, because I was so touched. Thank you for being so brave and retelling your stories. It was truly a blessing!!

This book is needed

If you or a loved one has experienced any form of sexual abuse you need to get this book! It’s raw, honest, and inspirational! The stories are laced with real experiences but create a pathway to healing through their transparency.

SUPERHERO KINGS SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER

"How do I put into words, the mark this book has made on me?" There are so many angles that I can tackle this question from- rape survivor, male child sexual abuse survivor, recovery, theologically. as a therapist, and even as an author.
This magnificent anthropology of true-life accounts of abuse is gutwrenchingly painful to hear, incredibly beautifully narrated, and filled with hope that celebrates the power of doing the work of healing. I applaud these brave, strong, and deeply honest men for the respectful manner their stories are told without the gruesomeness that so easily could have become a focus.

Throughout these stories, insights are appropriately littered between the heartbreaking accounts, that help us self-examine why we behave in ways we are not proud of. I cried, and danced in my living room, listening to these esteemed gentlemen. I danced at their sweet victories and cried at the agonising struggle to claw out of pain never theirs to endure.

This book is a necessary book for every teacher, therapist, politician, pastor, and family to read/ listen to, as we collectively fight against the sad continuance of sexual abuse in both women and men, boys and girls. So too, that we each have a clear understanding of how to love our hurting men into wholeness by giving mercy, educated empathy, and the right love that helps each other not self-victimize.
I HONOUR EACH MAN IN THIS BOOK.
Thank you for teaching me, and bringing me into a global community of survivors, as you reach out into this pandemic of sexual abuse in such a noble, and elegant way.
BRAVO!!!!!
WOW!!!!
You are truly Superheroes. God bless each of you.
I certainly will be promoting this outstanding work in South Africa.
Brilliant

I’m free and so can you

Finally, a book for all sexually abused men. I was paralyzed with the same problems these men share. I can write this review without fear. No man should carry the weight of abuse quietly their entire life. I waited almost 20 years to acknowledge my own. After letting it out, I became free. I still carry some emptiness and can be misunderstood by others.
You deserve to be free & you’re enough.
Abandon the shame and stop living a false narrative.
Thank you to all of the men who participated in this book. If there’s a part two, I’d be glad to share my story.
All the best

This book is a must read if you're a male survivor

I Am a Woman whos listening to this book and it has filled in the gaps and shed some light on what some of my male friends and even female friends have experienced surviving through this horrible experience and the trauma it has caused in their lives and the signs to look out for and even to take note of some of the predators who are in the the lives of surviors they were not some stranger in the alley they knew the monster's. and some signs of the survivor's who burry the pain and go on or and leave it untreated only to see it sprout up in other ways and how to recognize it so you can cope with it as a man as a friend as family as a parent as a lover...this book gave me deeper understanding into my friend who has survived and how to treat him listen to him and understand the pain he's endured as a man and how to let him know that he's still a man .
