    Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks is the driving force behind her organizations and fills the Chief Executive Director role. Dr. Hooks is an Author, CEO/Founder and qualified Christian Counselor who specializes in abuse recovery for battered/abused women and their children in Lake County FL.

Now, Dr. Hooks has been blessed by God with two organizations (The Lula McGrady Foundation, Inc. - a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit & Abused Woman Ministries, Inc.) which help abused women and their children recover from the bondage of domestic abuse.Dr. Hooks was recognized by the State of Florida’s Attorney General’s Office as a Designated Victim’s Advocate, has completed the State of Florida’s Foster Parent Training, is a Radio Personality, and Speaker. Dr. Hooks also conduct training workshops, group trainings, individual training sessions and counsel women via telephone/email domestically and internationally, to educate women on abuse and how to recover from it using her program, “Abused Woman Recovery Program” (AWRP).Dr. Hooks formed The Lula McGrady Foundation, Inc. and Abused Woman Ministries, Inc. in Lake County because of her goal to see people set free from bondage; especially, the bondage of domestic violence. She is passionate about helping the homeless, women of domestic violence and their children, divorced women, unwed teenage mothers, and teenage high school dropout girls.

      Dedication

      First and foremost, I thank God and dedicate this book to Him for bringing me through many, many, many…battles, storms, tribulations, trials, delivering me out of the mouth of wolves, from the grip of bears, and other countless things. Now, God is using me to bring others out; to lead them through their deliverance process.

      I want to thank God, especially for my daughter, Chandra Smith Garry. Chandra has helped me in my journey in many, many, many ways – plus, she is my Proofreader and she critiques my writings. I love you Chandra, very much and thank you for all you do for me.

      This book is also dedicated to everyone who played a part in me getting to this point, in my life; I appreciate you all. To keep from missing anyone, I thank all my friends and spiritual connections who God placed in my life, for His purpose. This book is even dedicated to my enemies; I thank God for them too – I would not be where I am today, if they had not played a part in my growth.

      I love You Father, I love You Jesus, and I love You Holy Spirit!

      Preface

      I thank God for protecting me and bringing me through seven abusive marriages, abusive relationships, a brutal sexual assault at the age of 16, and other traumatic events that has happened to me throughout my life! I can truly say as David said in Psalm 124:2-3, if it had not been the Lord who was on my side, I would have been swallowed up quickly; I have been through some Stuff!

      If you have not read my first book, Unholy Matrimony: Healing For The Abused Woman, which is the first book in the Abuse Recovery Series, you can purchase it at: www.abusedwoman.org, email me at drdehooks@abusedwoman.org or you can purchase it at www.smashwords.com. In Unholy Matrimony: Healing For The Abused Woman, I share how God brought me out of the bondage of domestic violence, abuse, and how God took me through my deliverance process. I believe my testimony in Unholy Matrimony: Healing For The Abused Woman, will help you tremendously.

      Deliverance is a process, and does not happen overnight (although, God is able to do what He sees fit; it is not impossible for Him to deliver you overnight – NOTHING is impossible with God). God deals with each individual person differently; He deals with him/her on their own level. Therefore, your deliverance and restoration process might not be the same as mine, but I believe you will be encouraged by my process.

      Abuse Recovery Series Books

      The second book, You Shall Recover It All: After the Abuse, which is the second book in the Abuse Recovery Series, I tell what will happen after God have delivered you, out of the bondage of violence and abuse.

      In my third book, Healing the Wounds of the Past: Stepping out of Rejection into Wholeness, I share my journey, of how God delivered me from the spirit of rejection and show you how to be delivered; this is the third book in the Abuse Recovery Series.

      This book, After the Abuse, After the Recovery, Now What?...Moving On With Your Life, is the fourth book in the Abuse Recovery Series. After the Abuse, After the Recovery, Now What?...Moving On With Your Life was written to support those, who have not only overcame domestic violence and abuse, but those who have survived it; there is a difference between the two.

      Survivor vs. Overcomer

      Before I continue, I would like to pause and explain to you the difference between surviving, and overcoming something. According to dictionary.com, the meaning of the word survivor is: 1) a person who survives (endured or live through an affliction, adversity, or misery), 2) a person who continues to function or prosper in spite of opposition or setbacks.

      The meaning of the word overcome according to dictionary.com is: 1) to get the better of in a struggle or conflict; conquer; defeats as to overcome the enemy, 2) to prevail over. The difference between a survivor and an overcomer is, a survivor survived their ordeal, they continue to exist after the ordeal is over, but they are hurting on the inside; in most cases, they are stuck in time at the point where the traumatic
