God-forsaken Place: How Chaplains Changed my Life - Roman Namor (Paperback)
"I was plugged in but probably not switched on. I knew the communal religion but lacked the personal relationship.
Chaplains reminded me that 'who I am' is a beloved and forgiven child of Cod.
Unforgiveness of self is the cruelest prison of all; if God has forgiven me, who am I to overrule God'?
ls the 'prison' actually a 'prism' that refracts a spectrum of true colours ... that sheds a new light of hope within a dark and hopeless place. .. whose rays of light all point to the creator of that light!
In the darkest place God can shed the brightest light".

God-forsaken place?
His is a powerful story of abuse as a child, an exemplary professional life where he was devoted to protecting vulnerable kids, then everything fell apart when his abuser committed suicide and something snapped in his head which led to him re-enacting his trauma on a vulnerable child; then imprisonment, salvation through prison chaplains. Following his release he is now a social leper. Parts of it are familiar to all prison chaplains. It’s poignant in a number of ways. As well as the tragedy at a number of levels, he can highlight the positive impact that chaplains have in the dark places of people’s lives.
