Do you work with children or those who need direct care? Perhaps you know someone who does. Every year many people in these professions are involved in legal and even criminal dilemmas due to allegations of misconduct of some sort. In fact, the number of cases are on the rise, and it is very disturbing. While some are guilty of such crimes, there are others who are falsely accused and left in a state of devastation. For those falsely accused, they must move forward and heal from the experience. It is not easy, but it is possible through Christ. Coming Out of the Ashes is a story of how a former teacher assistant transitioned from a place of despair and disdain to triumph and victory. But it is also a word of admonition to those who work with children or those in need of direct care. In these job settings, one can never be too cautious. Letting down your guard one time too many can be costly or even fatal. Many people never live to tell their story because they cannot deal with the pressure that is thrown at them. The survivors, on the other hand, must live their lives while coping with the damage done to their reputation and credibility. The author speaks candidly about his experience so others can be well informed and empowered.
