Synopsis

"My job is just to give you the message; it is up to you whether you believe it or not." -Saint Bernadette of Lourdes Shannon Deitz spent nearly two decades of her life in the darkest valleys of self-destruction, believing she was unworthy of God's love. After witnessing as a child the sex and drug-induced downfall of her older sister, Shannon turned away from her Catholic faith and upbringing and found herself caught in a wild and carefree lifestyle. She drank, partied, and sought comfort in abusive relationships, only to be raped not once but twice-by two different boyfriends. Years later, after an intense spiritual battle within, Shannon found herself at rock bottom, where she nally understood the truth-that her life had never belonged to her. It had always belonged to God. He had given her the gift of free will, and although she had been tied to him since conception, he had wanted her to love him on her own. Exposed: Inexcusable Me . . . Irreplaceable Him is the story of one woman's courageous journey down the path of spiritual self-discovery. Not only does this book expose the awful truths of physical and emotional abuse, but it also exposes the truth that, no matter how deeply our wounds may run, we will always be worthy of God's healing grace.

About this title

Review

"This book is a cautionary tale for all young women and men. Through her own traumatic experiences, Shannon portrays the brutal aftermath of date rape. The trauma of sexual abuse causes scars that don't go away, but with some divine intervention, Shannon is able to demonstrate that it doesn't have to define who you are and you can find peace again. She candidly shares her experience to reinforce that "NO MEANS NO" so men can clearly see the consequences of their actions and women can be assured that if they said "no," it is rape, it is not your fault, and it should be reported immediately." ~ Gwen "Excellent, extremely informative & a powerful account of the author's life. It is an easier read than some other books full of heavier material. I would highly recommend this book to anyone needing insight into the evil world of abuse/violence of any kind! I would give it ***** stars." Karen "This book was amazing. She had so much trial and horror, but her Faith is what ultimately got her through all that Satan put in her path. I couldn't put the book down. I read it straight through. Maybe it hit a little close to home for me, as I had some similar experiences in my teens/college years. It's an intense read, but well worth it to see it through to the end. I would recommend this to anyone. I would also let an older teen read it, and definitely those about to leave for college. Those heading off to college need to know what kind of spiritual warfare may be awaiting them." K. Jackson
