Dr.
Joe Johnson, June 23, 2003 – Journeys to Joy
Shattered
People, by Michael E. Chalberg, does a practical study
for anyone wanting
to understand the painful and disturbing reality of Dissociative
Identity Disorder.
It is also a love story written from experience in a way that clarifies,
but does not oversimplify. Chalberg writes with respect,
which is contagious. He
offers wisdom and hope, which cuts through confusion and lights up the
dark.
For the Christian
reader, old truth is stripped of cliché’ and has
the import of new revelation. Reading Shattered People is like eating from
the tree
of knowledge of good and evil. One can virtually taste the evil, but also
the power of love overcoming that evil. This is a book for the professional,
for
the compassionate friend and for the broken in need of God’s redeeming love.

Chalberg,
a pastor and cofounder of Shepherd's Care Ministries, had
a definite purpose in writing this book. He intends to suggest ways
in which
we can find the real God for ourselves by exposing the inadequate
conceptions of God, which prevent us from seeing Him. He
comprehensively accomplishes just that as he writes about a woman
with Multiple
Personality Disorder. He
gives a complete history and profile of more than 66 personalities
that make up the system of this individual, and he allows the
personalities to tell their own stories, in their own words,
as they come to
know God through Jesus. Chalberg does not camouflage or water
down the descriptions of evil encountered in these lives
or in their
responses to that evil.
This
book will deepen your understanding of MPD, as well as the
miracles sent by God to heal, renew and give everlasting
love, as each
part remembers and learns to deal with the truth of their
abuse. Chalberg
poses fascinating questions such as, " does each personality
of a multiple have their own soul before God, or is integration
of the personalities into one soul the only way they are acceptable
to God? "
The
book is remarkably well written, well organized, and shows
a broad knowledge of the subject. However ...Chalberg does
not boast. He
gives all honor and glory to Jesus. He causes the reader
to question the potential of mankind to do good, yet affirms
God's
power to
cause good to come from the evil that we do to each other.
One can't help but appreciate and feel his love for Jesus,
and his
burning dedication to help shattered people, as it is so
perfectly depicted in his words.
