C. S. Flores's newly released "Breaking the Chains: 'Only You Can Do It!'" shares the author's harrowing life of abuse that leads her to God's mercy and healing love.

MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Breaking the Chains: 'Only You Can Do It!'": an impelling narrative of the author's moments of pain and entrapment in the dark world of violent abuse. Living an isolated life, hiding this dark secret from her family and friends for years, the author lived a life of fear, hopelessness and felt all alone. In her complete brokenness she met the Lord Jesus who lifted her out of the ashes and saved her and her three young children from further harm. "Breaking the Chains: 'Only You Can Do It!'" is the creation of published author C. S. Flores, an ordinary woman with a passion for life, and a dedicated writer with a national art and fashion design degree from Durban, South Africa.

C. S. Flores shares, "This book has been inspired by my life's true personal experiences over the past several years. My struggles as a teenager, growing up without a mom, developing into my young-adult life, and then later into tough adulthood are reflected in this story.

"The driving purpose of putting pen to paper was not an easy decision, but I chose to inspire those facing domestic violence and abuse and to reiterate that this behavior is not acceptable under any circumstance. Remaining in a toxic relationship only produces toxic results. I chose to remain in a toxic dating relationship for eight years because I based my whole world around the only love I thought I knew, and sadly I followed through by marrying my high school sweetheart against the wishes of my family.

"The years that followed were traumatic and had a devastating impact on my life and later on in the lives of my children. However, despite the abuse and terrifying circumstances, I found Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior and committed my life to serving him. Answers did not present themselves instantaneously, but I was able to survive thirty-three years of domestic abuse, and I only began to see God's plan for my life after I was liberated from my controlling, possessive ex-husband in 2012.

"I consider myself truly fortunate and highly blessed to have walked this journey and survived to now tell my story, in the hopes of inspiring people and those who are trapped in this dark secretive life, not to accept a lifestyle of abuse of any type and the same devastating circumstances which controlled my life for many years. And also, to testify of the power of Jesus Christ when you choose to walk in obedience before him."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, C. S. Flores's new book proclaims how young, innocent love can be blinding as physical and verbal abuse become an acceptable fact of life. However, through all the darkness she was surrounded by, she found Jesus Christ, and shares the graciousness of God that can reach out to the trapped and brokenhearted and bathe them with love and forbearance.

Readers will witness an autobiography filled with resilience and spirituality in times of great tribulation in life. C. S. Flores shares, "None of this belongs to me, but all glory to God in the Highest!"
