“If you are looking for a book that clearly shows how the abused can be restored to new life in Christ, this is it. Jan has shown how Jesus binds up the broken hearted and sets the captives free.”

“Too often we carry the guilt of others and they weigh us down and drag us into a life God never intended for us to live. Set Free provides hope and healing for those who want to be free from the abuse of evil in all forms.”

-Steve Arterburn

Author Every Man’s Battle

 
“ Set Free is an important addition to the healing mandate of the church. Too many in our society know the savage devastation, demoralization and degradation of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. With boldness and an easy-reading style, Set Free presents true stories of survivors who have courageously applied the power of God’s healing to their lives. Set Free brings light and hope to those whose dreams might have been swallowed by deepening shadows of the past.”

-Paul E. Bollwahn, ACSW, CSWM
Lt. Colonel

“ Jan Coates has written an excellent book in which she weaves together the stories, not of survivors, but of “victors” of sexual and physical violence. Set Free has something for everyone; wisdom for church leaders, enlightenment for believers, and soul medicine for victims who have yet to experience total restoration in Jesus Christ.”

“What God has done in Jan’s life is what qualifies her to write and speak. She is living testimony that God is a God who loves, forgives, redeems, and restores. Set Free is a life-changer for women with hearts broken by childhood abuse.”

-Marita Littauer

“I couldn’t put Set Free down. Jan has done an excellent job of weaving real life experiences with Scripture. Set Free is a must for the abused and those ministering to them.”

“Set Free allows you to see and feel God’s healing power through the changes he has made in the lives of child abuse survivors. These women have touched the hem of his garment and experienced his healing that is also available to you.”

“Through the pages of Set Free, you will discover that faith and hope through Christ Jesus is available to everyone. You will be blessed as you walk alongside brave women who have endured seasons of brokenness, lived out the horrors of abusive childhoods, and experienced deep healing.”

“Jan, your book, Set Free, is an echo of so many people’s lives that live in hidden devastation. You have captured the very essence of the childhood war that no one talks about, but so many encounter. This book encourages the reader to tell their stories—just like the women in the book, to break the vow of secrecy and speak about this unsung war. Set Free gently invites the abused to enter God’s truth.”

“The measure of a woman’s life is not where she lives, how she looks, or how well she cooks; the measure of a woman’s life is how far she’s come by the grace of God. It is my hope that Set Free will pull back the curtain on a previously concealed segment of the Body of Christ: women who love much because they’ve been forgiven and healed of much. Let the floodgates of grace and truth be unleashed as women who have been Set Free get up out of the back pew and loudly proclaim the great things God has done.”
