You dared to love him. You saw the red flags. You felt the sting of his words and saw the anger flash in his eyes. You honestly thought things would be better once you were married. Turns out, you were wrong. That Prince Charming who swept you off your feet is now not so charming. As a matter of fact, you wonder if you made the right decision . . . but you love him. This is the way every marriage is, right? Your relationship is normal, right? For more than 1 million women in the United States, abuse—whether emotional or physical—is a way of life. Every day these women put on invisible chains. Breaking Invisible Chains, written specifically for women by women, is an honest, personal, and encouraging message of hope and illumination. Written by three survivors, the personal stories these women share will help you realize if you are in an abusive relationship or one that is just normal. A professional therapist includes insight into specific abuse situations, while each chapter contains a strong scriptural emphasis. The authors stress the role of forgiveness throughout the book, and they include realistic advice on how to handle the ongoing dynamics after the relationship ends if it turns out your relationship is not normal.

We each one of us have our own stories. Everyone knows the story of some people whereas the story of some people is unheard. Some people are like an open book and some people are a mystery box full of surprises. I always loved sharing my stories with family, friends and peers whether it maybe a sad story or the one full of amusement. And that’s why, I like living my life openly with no hesitations. I was not amazed with their reaction though since, I am the speaker I always had to prepare for a criticism. But also, this didn’t stop me sharing my feelings freely. In this world, Women Empowerment is a critical issue. And Women have always proved their worth whether it be economically or in gender equality and we should admire their perseverance and beauty. I was brought up in a place where I faced daily discrimination and criticism just because I am a girl. Although as I grew up, I learned how important it is to break the stereotypes. So, I came up with the title “The Glory of our Story” as we are the first one to understand how important our story to be heard is filled with the jars of emotions. Let each story of ours glorify in the world with a brightest ray of joy.
