Acerca de esta escucha

This book is the haunting true story of pain Frank Peretti never forgot but never, until recently, shared with the world. It's the story of growing up with a medical condition that left him disfigured. A series of surgeries and the slow miracle of answered prayer took care of the deformity, but not the underdeveloped frame or the excruciating reality of being different. And it was for these petty "crimes" that Peretti was prosecuted every day at school - especially in gym class, but also in the halls, on the school grounds, even in his own neighborhood. No wonder he found himself relating to movie monsters who were hated but also feared - and who eventually exacted a bloody revenge on their tormentors!

In Peretti's case, deliverance eventually came - through time, through prayer, through a teacher's caring intervention, and his own willingness to seek help. But he has never forgotten what life was like at the bottom of the junior high food chain. And from the reservoir of those agonizing memories, he sends a compelling message to victims, to bullies, and to authorities who have the power to intervene - that it's never okay for the strong to abuse the weak. And that we allow such abuse at the expense of our souls…and our very civilization.

Especially in the wake of the massacre at Columbine High School - perpetuated by two troubled but also tormented outsiders - this message takes on haunting resonance. Frank Peretti believes we cannot afford to overlook the continuing reality of wounded spirits, not only in our schools, but in our homes, churches, and workplaces. His approach is both tender and tough as he issues a ringing call for a change in attitude.

It's a call for all of us to stop thinking of abuse as "normal", even among kids.

It's a call for the strong to stand up and protect the weak, not prey upon them.

It's a call for those in authority to pay attention to the violence being done to the vulnerable in the midst of our everyday lives and to take action to help.

Most of all, it's a call for bullies and victims alike (many of us are both) to seek the healing and forgiveness offered in Jesus Christ. For that healing is really the heart of this book - the only reality that can break the natural cycle of victimization and abuse.

Only in Christ, Peretti reminds, is there hope for the wounded spirits - but that hope is powerful enough to change everything.

Intriguing connection between bullying and society today. Inspiring and motivating to be/do better. No matter whether bully or bullied. I feel better about myself. Even motivated to be better.

Excellent and poignant view point.

It was good but the storytelling was overly dramatic to someone seeking help for a wounded spirit. More empathy; less drama.

Good but too dramatic

I wasn't expecting the book to be more like a documentary, or a Memoir. I have been enlightened on the subject of bullying.

I didn't expect this

This is an absolute must read or listen for anyone in education or children’s ministry. Bullying must stop and it must be fought from position of people who can have an influence. Many thanks to Frank Peretti for sharing his difficult past.

Essential read

Engaging. Convicting. Intense. Draws you into the real life, real time, real wounds, real convictions of this audible-type reality-show. I have always loved Peretti fiction books and equally loved this true-to-life and experience book as well. Masterfully written to engage the senses, the psyche, and the heart. Will also be using it as I homeschool my kids. Can’t say enough good about this book. Highly recommend.

Amazing. Very Timely.

I don’t even know what to say other than wow…so eye opening and sad to think people, both young and old, actually act that way. Chapter 8 was spot on as far as having the answer! This is a must read for anyone and everyone, for no one is immune.

I like this book strictly based on the idea that in no small part, it resonated with my heart and my mind and my spirit. I too was a misfit for this world, and such was targeted all throughout school by bullies of many stripe.

Issues of the heart
