Tell Somebody

We need to tell our story so others will benefit. What have you been through that will help someone facing the same problem? God allows the storms to give us opportunity to discover who He is. He wants us to know He is always with us even during our darkest hours of life. God has snatched many of us from bad situations, keeping us out of jails, hospitals, mental institutions or safe from certain death. We don't mind acknowledging Him when we are in need, but after our storms are over we never tell others that the Lord helped us. How do we expect unbelievers to call on Him for help in a storm if we never share Him with others? Our story or testimonies make a world of difference in others' lives. Some could be enduring what you have already been through, looking for a way out. Can you help? Are you willing to tell them how God helped you? Our testimony gives God the glory for our lives. I have seen many people on television that were miraculously saved from a disaster or an incurable illness who gave the credit to "luck." God is the Master Mind and organizer of life. I've learn it is a privilege and honor to be given opportunity to share His amazing love and power and at the same time give someone else the opportunity to know Him. God desires all the glory from our lives, because our story is His-story (History). When has "luck" or anyone else crucified, died and rose again to save the world from sin and eternal damnation. If more believers would simply share with others what God has done for them, more hurting people would have something solid to lean on. We all know there is nothing as solid as God. If believers don't tell, then who will?

This is a book on sexual abuse, written for and directly to children between the ages of five to ten years old. It is written in a comprehensive and easy-to-read manner, using concepts that this age group will find easy to follow and understand. This book will empower children, who find themselves in this situation, to know what to do and be able to get far away and tell somebody. Most children books, written on the subject of sexual abuse, tend to focus on the concept of Stranger Danger. Yet, in the past two decades, studies show that many of the sexual abuses occur with people children know and trust. Reports of sexual abuse around the world between children and priests, pastors, family members, neighbors and community leaders (people children know, love and trust) make this book crucial and essential for parents around the world to read it to their child. Studies also show that when children are abused by people they know and trust, they dont tell. Many of these children grow up to adulthood, displaying behavior problems, while many turn to drugs and alcohol to drown their pain or even suicide. More important, in some cases, these victims become abusers themselves, thus creating this vicious cycle of victim and abuser. Therefore, it is important to get children to feel safe enough to tell someone if they are abused; it is even more important to empower children to know the warning signs of a potential predator. This book can become a beacon of hope and a reminder to children who find themselves in situations that are noted in this book that they can feel safe when they tell somebody; thus children, no longer, will have to live in silent and in pain. Children also need to be reminded that there are many adults that they can love and trust. This book talks to children about how they can develop their awareness about this topic and empower them to act on it, if they find themselves in this situation.

Psalms 118:17-18 "I will not die but live to declare the works of the Lord. God has chastened me sore but he has not given me over to death." That's why I've got to tell somebody! Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word, just to rest upon his promise just to know thus said the Lord. Jesus, Jesus! How I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! Oh for grace to trust Him more. "THAT's WHY I'VE GOT TO TELL SOMEBODY".

Understand, this book is not written to make you feel bad or condemn you if you have not engaged others with the gospel message. This book is written to encourage and inspire you. Even though pastor and author Greg Laurie is a “gospel-presenting professional,” in this book he tells stories of his own failure and success. The most important things you will find here are biblical principles that you can apply yourself. Taken from the life and witness of Jesus, and tested over Greg’s forty years of ministry, in both one-on-one experiences and large-scale evangelistic arena and stadium events, these ideas are intended to mobilize every person in the church to “Tell Someone” about Jesus Christ.
