Unholy Matrimony: Healing For The Abused Woman
()
About this ebook
In this book, Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks talks about the consequences of marrying out of God’s will. Dr. Hooks state:
“We form ungodly soul ties and get involved with ungodly people when we don’t acknowledge God in all our ways. This can and most likely will cause us to become vic-tims of domestic violence/abuse. God is the only One who can bring you out of an abusive relationship. Remember, when God bring you out, you will have wounds, that God will heal; allow God to totally heal you, BEFORE, you get into another relationship. Also, just because you are out of the relationship, does not mean, the relationship is out of you; but God will heal you, deliver you, and restore you.”
The book is dedicated to all the women who have been abused in their relationships and to those who have not been abused; to those who have not been abused, this is a preventive manual, to help you not be abused – to those who have been abused and are not free from soul ties, this book can give you hope and show you how to heal. Through Dr. Hooks’ experiences, you will see how God brought her out of bondage, healed her, restored her, and today, she is allowing Him to have total control of her life.
Always remember, no matter what, God is with you; you are not alone. Psalm 34:19 (KJV) tells you, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him, out of them all.”
May God continually bless you and keep you is my prayer,
Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks

I thank God for allowing me to go through the trials and tribulations to obtain the wisdom and experience to write this book; to make me who God called me to be, and to fulfill my destiny.
This book is dedicated to, Apostle Marcia Carter, Household of Faith Ministries, for her prayers and support, and Pastor Vernell Carter, Prayer, Preach, Praise and Deliverance, for her support and prayers, both of Americus, Ga.; to Elder Sue Graham, and Pastor Haywood & Co-Pastor Joy Richardson, thanks for being there for me when I needed you all the most; to my daughter, Chandra Garry for her support and help to me, of Atlanta, Ga.; to my Mommie,
Helen Nesbitt and my sister, Deborah Nesbitt, of Nassau Bahamas, I love you all; and to everyone else who was involved in helping me, through the difficult times of the past, whose names I did not mention; I love you all.
This book is also dedicated to all the women, who have been abused in their relationships, and to those who have not been abused. To those who have been abused and are not free from soul ties, this book can give you hope, and show you how God can bring you out too. Through my experiences, you will see how God brought me out of bondage, healed me, restored me, and today I am allowing Him to have total control of my life. To the ones who has not been abused, this book will teach you how not to be abused.
God wants us women to arise and know the tactics of the devil. The devil wants to make us think we have no self-worth but he is a liar. God loves us and we are worth something to Him. As long as we think we are worth nothing, we will accept any treatment from a man (abuse, unfaithfulness, lying, etc.) to keep him. It’s time to rise, shine, and give God the glory. God got you and will keep you!
