How can someone get past a raw injustice that has been dealt to them—such as rape—and be able to forgive? This is the compelling message found in From Rape to Righteousness. Charlie and Susie Coker reveal their painful past in this very transparent story, and challenge every Christian to clean their own house, and then do the same in the church body as a whole.
Forgiveness is the hinge point of our relationship with Jesus, so we need to be actively pursuing forgiveness in every relationship in our lives—past and present. Only by doing this can we truly find freedom and walk in the righteousness of God—only then will the church truly reflect Jesus to an angry and hurting world.

Sobre o autor
Charlie’s perspective and pursuit of the kingdom of God started in 1993 when King Jesus came to personally visit him, which gave him a unique insight into how the kingdom of God functions. Charlie and his wife, Susie, are founders of Identity Church in Deltona, Florida, and have been in the lighting business for over forty years, and also travel as itinerate ministers, releasing the light of the Father’s glory. They have a unique ability to share the love of God and His healing power because they have walked through the restoration of a broken marriage and broken lives. Charlie and Suzie have been married for thirty-nine years and have two sons, Jason and Bryan, and five grandchildren.
