About the Book

Many survivors of childhood abuse think of themselves as defective, flawed, and worthless. Cecil Murphey knows this too well. A survivor himself, he's familiar with the shame and brokenness that can come from abuse. But he also knows there is hope, not only for surviving, but for flourishing. More Than Surviving is more than just personal accounts or clinical data; it's a series of short meditations for readers to delve into whenever they have the time or need a quick burst of encouragement in a difficult day. Vulnerable, honest, and incredibly courageous, each ends with a brief prayer to help men face their pain and to grow from the experience--and past it. Murphey's transparency affirms his readers and assures them that they are not alone: many men have gone through the same painful experiences and are now strong survivors. Here, more men will discover guidance, encouragement, and practical advice on how to live victoriously.

About the Author :
Cecil Murphey has written or coauthored more than one hundred books, including the autobiography of Franklin Graham, Rebel with a Cause and the New York Times best-seller 90 Minutes in Heaven. Cecil lives in Georgia.

Review :
"Cecil Murphey and the other men whose testimonies fill this book have looked into the secret places of their lives and have pulled out a powerful resource for healing wounds men seldom talk about. Unfortunately, the accounts related in this book are more common than most would want to admit, yet hiding the hurts will not heal the hurts or make the repercussions of unspoken pain go away. With each meditation, this book peels back the layers and speaks with brutal honesty about the lasting effects of sexual abuse on boys or young men. . . . Ultimately, however, this book is not merely about reliving the pain but invites the reader to heal, move forward, and even forgive and find freedom from the bondage that comes from such abuse. . . . Men need to know they are not alone, and there is a way out of the long dark night."--Mark E. Hardgrove, dean of Beulah Heights University, and senior pastor of Conyers Church of God (12/22/2017 12:00:00 AM) "During this unique historical moment of the #metoo movement, I can't imagine a timelier book. Having been abused myself during childhood, this book helped me heal in a more profound way. This book does more than just identify with those who have been abused: it offers hope and healing. Cecil and his friends are brave to use their lives to bring healing to others. 'Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms' (1 Peter 4:10). This is deeply needed today not only in America but around the world."--Mark Fincannon, motion picture casting director (12/22/2017 12:00:00 AM) "There are healing words in these pages, words that will empower you and move you through pain to discover a new place of strength and self-confidence. For thirty years I have counseled men, and I know that recovery comes when issues are faced with wise tools. This book by Cecil Murphey will be part of that toolbox."--Gregory L. Jantz, founder of The Center: A Place of Hope (12/22/2017 12:00:00 AM) "More Than Surviving calls men to step into a healing community and embrace change. Through these remarkable meditations, Cecil reveals his own candid account, as well as those of five other men abused as children. Each of these brave survivors have brought their childhood secrets to light, pressed through incredible pain, uncovered lies, and learned to value themselves as individuals loved by God. The prayers at the end of each meditation may well transform your life and relationships."--Karen Ciccarone, cofounder of the Oasis Healing Ministry for survivors of sexual abuse & assault (12/22/2017 12:00:00 AM) "Are you a victim of childhood abuse or married to a survivor? Cecil Murphey courageously addresses the fears, frustrations, and fallout that frequently linger from childhood abuse. More Than Surviving provides specially crafted meditations that inspire healing, peace, and a more loving connection with God. If you want to move past merely surviving the trauma of your childhood, if you want to live in the fullness God desires--pick up a copy of this book! You won't be disappointed."--Julie Gorman, co-owner of Gorman Leadership Group, & coauthor of Married for a Purpose (12/22/2017 12:00:00 AM) "Cecil Murphey's More Than Surviving talks honestly about the emotions and struggles of men who battle with the aftermath of childhood abuse. With transparency and grace, Cec and the other contributing authors write about the identity confusion, grief, guilt, betrayal, loss, stolen opportunities, and shattered trust experienced by countless men. More Than Surviving is a voice for men who struggle to speak their pain, offers hope for their healing, and is a testament to God's love and grace."--Shelly Beach, award-winning author of Love Letters from the Edge (12/22/2017 12:00:00 AM) "Honest. Open. Heart-wrenching. A reminder that if you or someone you love has suffered abuse, you are not alone. There is hope. There is help. Cec Murphey is more than an eloquent wordsmith; he knows that healing comes when we know someone will hear our stories and love us without reservation. When men are abused as children, masculinity suffers. Confusion reigns. Murphey reminds us that we don't live in a neat and tidy world with explanations for everything: 'Logical answers don't satisfy emotional needs.' He is living proof that God's grace breaks through our wounded past and offers light in the midst of our darkness."--Don S. Otis, author of Whisker Rubs: Developing the Masculine Identity (12/22/2017 12:00:00 AM)
