FORGED BY FIRE Victim to Victory
A Journey of Healing for Adult Male Survivors of Childhood Abuse
For decades the Christian publishing industry has overlooked a massive population of hurting men — adult male survivors of childhood trauma and abuse. We’re told to man up, pray harder, or just forgive and move on. But healing from childhood wounds requires more than platitudes. It requires honest guidance from someone who has actually walked the path.
Forged by Fire: Victim to Victory fills that gap.
This isn’t a book written by a therapist who studied trauma in a classroom. It’s written by a retired Army Major who survived severe childhood abuse, spent decades struggling with explosive anger and broken relationships, and finally found genuine healing through encounters with God that transformed everything.

What You’ll Find Inside
Forged by Fire walks you through the complete journey from recognition to freedom across six parts:
Part I — Recognizing the Damage Breaking the conspiracy of silence that keeps men trapped. Understanding what abuse really is — physical, emotional, sexual — and the unique damage of being weaponized as a child.
Part II — Understanding the Impact How childhood trauma follows you into adulthood through explosive anger, authority issues, marriage struggles, and spiritual damage that distorts your view of God.
Part III — The Escape Why sometimes survival requires distance — and how getting out is the first step toward getting free.
Part IV — The Breaking Point That moment when the performance cracks and you can’t keep pretending anymore. Why this crisis is actually the doorway to healing.
Part V — The Recovery Practical steps for naming wounds, managing anger, rewriting your story, and learning to trust again after betrayal.
Part VI — The Legacy Living free. Breaking cycles for the next generation. Discovering how your wounds can become your mission to other broken men.
