Few things are more horrific than for a child to be tortured by someone who was supposed to love them. Scars of abuse go deeper than burn marks or lashes can leave. Somehow abuse scars the soul and tempts the heart to never risk letting people get close. Yet, in The Creaking on the Stairs, Mez bravely invites you into his painful past and gives hope through the grace of Jesus who entered into our pain–riddled world. Whether you are a believer in God or not, whether you have suffered abuse or not, I cannot more highly commend this work to you.

Read moreWith vivid personal stories, well–stated research, and a storehouse of scripture, Mez takes the grievous and gut–wrenching reality of abuse and holds it up to the light of grace. While I wish this book didn’t have to exist, I’m thankful it does. It’s a powerful and redemptive resource.
