A Word Of Encouragement To The Friends Of Truth

Reprint of the original, first published in 1859.

When psychologists began hearing adults tell harrowing tales of childhood abuse, some dismissed the stories as false. Other therapists, however, recognized that the hidden memories might indicate multiple personality disorder, a complex coping strategy that helps victims deal with severe abuse. In The Truth about False Memory Syndrome, Dr. Jim Friesen, a pioneer in the treatment of multiple personality disorder, tackles the subject of FMS with clarity and knowledge no tabloid or talk show can muster. An experienced and compassionate psychologist, Friesen takes the reader along as he helps his clients piece their lives back together and recover from abuse. Through engrossing, yet unnerving, case studies of various patients, dealing with everything from sexual to satanic ritual abuse, Friesen draws a distinction between memory and fantasy, truth and falsehood. In the process, our misconceptions about the victims of abuse, and FMS, are dispelled.

I am sure this book can bring God's enlightenment and wisdom in these last days in a much clearer way to people. I have seen how the lack of wisdom has made western society crumble, how everything is very confusing, we no longer know what is true or false, black or white, good or bad, the churches that once were the strong pillars that sustained and carried forward western society today have lost their credibility and power in the face of an increasingly unbelieving world, even within the churches there is a lack of agreement because the guidance of the Holy Spirit has been lost and each Christian thinks differently and not as God would like them to think. To tell the truth, I have felt this call of God for many years, but I did not know how to begin until in these last two years, God opened a door for me and made me write. At first, I did not think it was to make a book but after writing many things, I felt that it was time to carry out that idea that I had years ago of making a book that would serve to bring blessing to people and to bring the light of the word of God that the world needs in the midst of the chaos and confusion of these last days. It is not that I planned it or that I planned it for this time, but that God took me to places and made me meet people who opened the doors for me to write this book, and without these places and these people, this would not have been possible. I feel that if it is God's will and plan as I believe it is, God will open the doors, and this book will be published for the blessing of many people.
