CREAKING ON THE STAIRS:
Finding faith in God through childhood abuse
By Mez McConnell
Christian Focus. 230 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 527 104 419

This book surprised me. The quote on the front stated: ‘The most disturbing book that I have ever read.’ I expected a harrowing account of childhood abuse and an account of how Mez came to find rescue and hope in Christ.

That is there, but this book is not an autobiography. It is a gospel presentation recounted through the experience of someone who has suffered and struggled.
