August 24, 2007
Having been sexually abused by his Church Pastor, Fr. Victor E. Stewart for six years, Kenneth F. Joe Sr. considers himself a survivor and not a victim. After settling one of the largest cases in the history of the Archdiocese of Chicago in June 2006, Kenneth tells his story now as inspiration and hope to those who have found themselves betrayed by their Church and struggle to move forward.
Kenneth F. Joe, Sr. tells the story behind his passion, in his book From Abused to Protector: “Claiming Your Life After Your Church Sexually Abuses You” A Story of Hope, Forgiveness and Triumph.
The publication will be available on September 15th at www.careenough.net. Kenneth F. Joe, Sr., current Director of Integrated Family Support for the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR), former Director of Fulton County Department of Family & Children Services, the largest Public Child Welfare agency in the state of Georgia. Kenneth Joe has worked in Child Welfare/Foster Care for 17 years.
Synopsis: A powerful personal story that details the pain and shame associated with being abused by Clergy in the Church. Kenneth Joe tells his story with courage and disregard for the embarrassment that is often left lingering with the victim. This book is an inspiration to anyone who has suffered hurt and gives a blueprint to conquering the pain; instead of letting it consume and fracture the soul. Kenneth Joe ultimately teaches us that forgiveness is what heals the scars and gives the victim an opportunity to own their story, and also transform from victim to triumphant survivor! From Abused to Protector: “Claiming Your Life After Your Church Sexually Abuses You” A Story of Hope, Forgiveness and Triumph, gives a map to the road the Church, Child Welfare and Society must take to ensure pedophiles are given no place to hide and are never protected from justice no matter what their position in Church or Society maybe.
“For those who share my pain, I hope to tell a story that you can be proud of. You can overcome your hurt by reclaiming your life. Give no more silence to the betrayal of your Church,” said Kenneth F. Joe, Sr.
