IMPACTED Story
Lillian Cucuzza • WHO IS ABLE?
I’ve been waiting to read this book for two and a half years. It did not disappoint! After waiting all this time, I read the book in one day! It was so gripping I could not put it down!
I had a million other things to do that day: getting ready for a two-week trip to Iceland the following week, preparing for a children’s book launch event that happened the week after the trip, and prepping for a craft fair that same week. But reading this book ended up being the most important and best use of my time that day!!!
Wow! God is so good, and He is such a caring, loving God! I cried through the whole book with disbelief, horror, and sadness at the torture, pain, and trauma— both physical and psychological, that Dana (and Jocinda) endured for years. It was a miracle that Dana survived even the first month of torture without food, water, a bathroom, or the ability to clean herself (and avoid infections), much less survive that torture and abuse for years. I cannot even begin to fathom what that was like. It made me so thankful for the life I’ve had.
My tears became tears of joy and praise when God saved Dana to tell her story for His glory! Only God is able to help someone make it through such a traumatic experience, even when they didn’t know God during the trauma. Yet He had his hand on Dana the whole time and protected her from certain death for His purpose and plan.
Now I understand why it took so long to write this book. The authors had to be in constant prayer for protection from the enemy and to make sure they told this important story properly. The book is not about the abuse and torture, which, of course, was necessary to share to set up the real story. The real story is about forgiveness and redemption; it’s about how only God is able and how He uses everything for the good of those who love Him.
This book is so beautifully written!
The authors gave just enough detail about the torture and abuse without being too graphic; I felt the pain and emotion in every word! I love how Dana’s story is told through her powerful testimony in the prison along with the thoughts and story of doubting prisoner, Jocinda! Brilliant!
This is the most powerful testimony I’ve ever heard or read; it will be a far-reaching, world-changing, blockbuster book everyone needs to read and hear! Praise God for His goodness, protection, mercy, and grace!
Thank you, Dana Louise Cryer, for being so courageous and obedient in telling your story for His glory! I’m sure it was very difficult to relive all the hurt, pain, trauma, and emotions as you shared your miraculous life story with the writers. Well done, Kimberly, Julie, & Michael! This book celebrates a triumphant victory for all involved!
