Unmask the Predators
Lisa Cherry
Destiny Images Publishers, May 2012
WARNING: THREATS TO YOUR CHILD AHEAD! Losing
your child’s heart to the perverse world of a sexual predator is truly
every parent’s nightmare. When an $800 cell phone bill revealed a secret
relationship between our highachieving, Sunday School teaching 15 year
old daughter, Kalyn, and a 46 year old man from our congregation, we
were horrified. The aftermath of destruction, as it usually is with
sexual abuse, was disastrous. Rebellion, depression, wrong
relationships, eating disorders, and selfmutilation suddenly turned home
into a war zone. In Kalyn’s mind we, her parents, were her enemies
while the sexual perpetrator remained her hero. How could something so
bizarre happen in a loving Christian home?

thought-provoking challenge question to develop a heart that is
