Our Little Secret: My Life in the Shadow of Abuse (Hodder Christian Books)
Despite a privileged upbringing, the abuse she suffered at the hands of
her father, a society photographer, meant Tori Dante's childhood was
spent in the shadows of fear, loneliness and confusion. Even after
leaving home, her life was ruined by feelings of rebellion and
self-hatred, which led her to search for ways to escape reality, and an
inherent distrust of men made it difficult for her to form lasting
relationships. Her healing began after she and her husband Cameron
committed their lives to Jesus. A moving Christian testimony and
response to the issue of paedophilia, this book also includes an advice
section for other victims of abuse, their friends, families and
churches.
“This book is shocking; there
is simply no other word for it and all the more so because of the
restrained way in which Tori Dante deals with all the systematic abuse
suffered at the hands of her own father. It must have cost her dearly
to write it; we dare not ignore it.”
Rob Parsons
This is the harrowing story of Tori Dante, wife of the
Tribe’s Cameron Dante, and of the regular sexual abuse inflicted
on her by her father. It describes her journey from the despair of her
childhood to the healing she discovered after committing her life to
Jesus. It has been written, with the help of writer and broadcaster
Julia Fisher, to inspire all readers and will be of particular help to
anyone who has suffered abuse themselves, or those who are close to
them.
This brand new edition includes an additional chapter
updating Tori’s story, a new Foreword by Cameron and an updated
resource section.
“This graphic and moving account is a
challenge to us all. Would your church have listened and obtained the
help Tori needed, both as a child and an adult?”
CCPAS (Churches’ Child Protection Advisory Service)
“I’m proud to call Tori my friend
and incredibly proud of the God who has met her and changed her. I know
her deeply disturbing story needs to be told and hope that many will
find comfort through it.”
Andy Hawthorne, The Tribe

A Future for Israel?: Christian Arabs Share Their Stories (Authentic Lifestyle)
Arab Christians reflect on their journey of faith and
how they understand what the Bible says about Israel. This collection
of true stories, which demonstrate the power of God’s love, will
bring hope to all those who consider peace between Arabs and Jews to be
unobtainable.
Stories include:
Naim Khoury - An Arab pastor living in Bethlehem. He has a church in
Bethlehem and a church in the Old City of Jerusalem. He was shot last
year by Palestinian gunmen – he survived.
George Kazoura – a Arab pastor living in Rama
(northern Israel). He runs a church and an orphanage (for mainly muslim
children). He was seriously ill a few years ago and believes God spared
his life.
Shmuel Aweida – an Arab pastor in Haifa who pastors a Messianic Jewish congregation!
"It is the sheer grace of God that lies behind the
accounts Julia Fisher writes about in this book. Only God himself could
cause an Arab Christian to baptize two Jews in the River Jordan. You
will read about such in this book. Tears will fill your eyes as you
read how Palestinian Christians say to Jews ‘We love you’
and how Messianic Jews say to Palestinians ‘We love you’.
This book should be read by every Christian in the world."
R.T. Kendall
