In My Father&#39;s House Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hooray, hooray! I couldn't put the book down. How genuinely touching it was. Every emotion was experienced as I read it in 1.5 days. This book receives my standing ovation and I too, think it would make an excellent movie. The realness of your reality is nothing short of amazing and I applaud your strength in writing it. It's about time someone dared to stand up and tell the truth about the hidden hurts and pain of children, not just in society but especially in the church. Victoria, whatever you do, continue to hold your head up, the shame is not yours. I would love to meet you one day just to shake your hand and tell you that I'm glad you're better and not bitter. Good luck on future endeavors. You are VICTORY!

Victoria Johnson's disarming book, In My Father's House exposes the real-life saga of the Brunson family.Though cloaked in the facades of normalcy----residing in a household in a charming neighborhood, headed by a respected minister----the Brunsons are not the typical family-next-door.The abominable force destabilizing the Brunson family was the very person who led it:Reverend Clavin Brunson, Sr.The beloved pastor would delivered chariot-over-Jordan sermons to a congregation that worshipped him - then return home to verbally and physically abuse his wife and nine children.In My Father's House skillfully paints a disturbing although fascinating portrait of a demented demagogue who sternly spouted bible verses at his family---his rallying directive: "Obey!"True to its title, the painfully gut--wrenching book describes a residence where one man ruled --with an iron fist--using the Bible as justification.Encapsulating long-term emotional, psychological effects and multiple tragedies including whippings that drew blood, and forcing his offsprings to hold up his feet as he slept. This book contains the shockvalue of the Reverend eventually ridding himself of his pyschologically tortured family to start yet another.
