More Reviews for UnHoly Communion
"The juxtaposition of religious chaos is compelling. An emotionally charged journey. Powerful in it's genuine open and powerful truthfulness." - Christina Crawford, author, "Mommie Dearest"
"UnHoly Communion, despite the difficult subject matter and candid recollections of his ordeal. Hank’s thoughtful and reflective presentation is not about grinding an ax, although he has every right to do so. It’s all about being honest, primarily with himself, then with his family, his religious community, and us." - Richard Wagner, Author “Secrecy, Sophistry & Gay Sex In Catholic Church; Systematic Destruction Of An Oblate Priest.”
"UNHOLY COMMUNION, takes us through the horrors of being sexually abused in his family of origin by a trusted uncle only to be followed by a second experience of sexual abuse by a trusted priest during his seminary training in the religious order of the Claretian Missionary Priests and Brothers. This book is worthy of a careful reading by anyone, but especially by those who have doubts about the effects of sexual abuse of vulnerable young people by members of the clergy or about the systemic pattern of enabling these same abusers to violate additional vulnerable people." - Voice of the Faithful (www.votf.org)
"UnHoly Communion is an important text regardless of your relationship to the subject. It illuminates realizations invaluable to survivors, but equally beneficial when understood by their partners, family and friends. As a survivor who considers himself advanced on the journey toward recovery, or what recovery is possible, I was profoundly struck by Estrada’s calm articulation of the complex emotional and social dysfunctions he developed. Refreshingly open and bravely honest."
- Dr. Matthew McVarish, Actor, Playwright, Survivor Spokesman
"Hank Estrada is quite a person. His words confer integrity, intelligence, healing and love to the reader. He dealt with unbelievably demeaning situations in a manner that shows his incredible personal strength and resourceful dedication to Christian ideals." - John Shuster, Board Member and Seattle coordinator at SNAP
"UnHoly Communion offers a positive outcome of Estrada's struggle in redefining the meaning of a true relationship, fighting off the experiences of learning his childhood definition of pleasing others through body gratification. Now as an adult who maintains his guard in coming to terms with his abusive relationships and loss of trust, Estrada offers victims of predatory adults his combat-ready experience and sources to assist them in reaching out for help in overcoming the varieties of social, mental, and spiritual damage that predators impose on their victims." - John Gonzalez, Ft. Worth, TX
"Hank Estrada's UNHOLY COMMUNION is powerfully written and presented, UNHOLY COMMUNION offers the way to freedom for every abuse survivor and all of us who just want to live our lives as the best person we can be." - C. A. Webb "Conversations Book Club" Jackson, MS
