I am a survivor of child abuse and I am currently in therapy. I found it difficult to communicate my feelings so my therapist advised to try writing them down and that's how the Poems began. Although I have always written Poems, they have never reached the kind of magnitude they have now - so when you read the book, you will be reading about 95% of my biography.

A Shopping List for Murder, is an autobiography of a unique piece of New Zealand's criminal history.

Robyn had a seemingly normal marriage and was achieving her dreams of breeding distinctive stud Belted Galloway cattle, and running a Farmstay in an idyllic valley setting in the Canterbury Foothills. Her world was nearly perfect.

One cold and winters night, she walked nearly 10 km to a Public phone box and made the most important and influential phone call of her life. That phone call caused a series of events that disintegrated to a point where murder was the near outcome.

This book describes in graphic detail, what it is like to be a victim of a horrendous premeditated crime, in a remote farm house. The story goes further then merely recounting the attack. We learn what it is like being the victim in the New Zealand criminal justice system, and the frustrations that individuals endure being a part of that system.

We also watch as Robyn has to fight every inch of the way to rebuild her life after surviving the terror of that night that will no doubt haunt her forever.

How she has coped has been her tremendous grit and determination, ability to think outside the square and her quirky sense of humour as is evidenced by the many amusing excerpts scattered throughout this book.

You Don't Have to Die to Be Free is an insightfully honest biographical account of the impact of an alcoholic's relapse. Told from the point of view of the wife of an alcoholic, this is the story of how she manages to maintain her sanity and come out ahead.

As human beings we have all had not only our own unique experiences but also ones that are universal and can be shared with so many others. This book deals not only with the seemingly mundane but also with issues or experiences not shared by all. It is important that people be given a voice to validate the things they find difficult to express or share with others. Most importantly people need to be inspired and to have their spirit, hope, sense of peace and self-identity re-ignited. It is important to learn from the past but we must also be willing to learn from others and engage in a future that encompasses empathy, hope, peace, laughter, and overcoming the trials in our lives.

Some of the common themes in this book are: Choosing to go through trials in our lives and come out stronger. Choosing to receive and reciprocate true love and friendship in our lives. Choosing not to allow others to steal away the best of who we are. Dealing with being different, such as those who have premonitions or special gifts that define who they are. Taking responsibility for actions and teaching children to do the same with respect, dignity, honesty and humility. It deals with loss and grief, life lessons and the quest to overcome the worst, such as not allowing others to dump their toxic baggage at our feet. Most importantly, acknowledging that we all need silence and solitude in our lives to restore our spirit and listen for the guidance we need to take the next steps in our lives in confidence and with a sense of peace that we are on the right track. It is about life and the choices we make that effect not only ourselves but also those around us.

Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes "there is nothing new under the sun". Only our methods have changed. Sexual acts once committed in secret are now done openly. The history of sexual abuse and sexual addiction goes back to the beginning of time, has run through, and ruined every great civilization.

Sexual abuse has no economical, racial or religious boundaries. The sexual abuse for children in religious versus- non-religious home is the same across the board. Twenty-seven percent of all children living in these homes are sexually abused.

The trapping of sexual addicts is seen through Internet addiction, pornography, and epinephrine- a chemical released in the blood during sexual acts, soul-ties and in some cases demons. Three demons, the female night demon, the Incubus, and Succubus, can play havoc in those who struggle with sex addiction.

A section under the chapter titled What About the Demonic? Entitled Deliverance, Inner Healing or Medication? Is provided to help you decide which road you need to take to set yourself free.

Never in the history of humanity, has the world been faced with so many broken lives than what we are currently experiencing today. Men and especially women who have been bruised by circumstances and events that inflicted deep wounds on their lives and destiny form the units that make up the nations.

In this book, thoughtfully authored by Rev Marjorielyn R Campbell, one of the most painful stories of the Bible is used to address the crippling effects of a sexual attack on a woman by a person of trust in her life.

It is one of those taboo subjects that is never talked about within the family, better left where it is and better swept under the carpet never to receive justice. However, the author has sensitively done exactly that - justice. What this book ministers to the reader is not just something that was learned from another book or concepts that the human mind put together but it is from something that was given by God and birthed from a life totally devoted to God.

No matter how bruised the life is and regardless of what may have happened, the reader will never remain the same by the time the last page is read. Healing will spring from within to the many lives that have been afflicted by this subtle ploy of the enemy to keep the daughters of God bound. A rose is still a rose and at the scent of water it will bud again.
