My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Mark Sowersby, author of the book Forgiving the Nightmare. In 2019 Pastor Mark went through a time of great healing.  He began speaking about the nightmare of abuse and years of suffering he experienced in his childhood.  And how condemnation, shame, and guilt were replaced with forgiveness, joy, and life in abundance.  

He now speaks about his story and his testimony of healing, forgiveness and freedom through his ministry, Forgiving The Nightmare.  

In my book review, I stated Forgiving the Nightmare is more than an abuse memoir or Christian instruction – it’s a story of grace, overcoming, and forgiveness. Mark doesn’t sugarcoat the truth, whether that truth is about his childhood abuse or about his difficulty moving beyond that abuse. In fact, he is so honest that he will be the first to admit that forgiveness will be a lifelong journey.

What I loved most about this book is the hope. Each page leads the reader down a path to something better. No matter what Trauma you’ve suffered – and haven’t we all had some trauma in our life – there is light on the other side. For Mark, this comes by way Jesus Christ. And Mark shares ten trail markers to help those who are seeking to forgive the nightmares in their own lives.

Do you know what happens when you hold a nightmare to the light? It loses power. And that’s exactly what Mark discovered. It’s a beautiful book that will fill you with the desire to do better, be better, love better, and forgive fully.
