God-Jesus-Wild Horses
“GOD-JESUS-WILD HORSES” from Christian Faith Publishing author Michael Lee Johnson is a narrative that revives the feelings and thoughts of the author as he recounts years of abuse at the hands of his own father.
“My therapist asked me to write down my thoughts and when I started, I could not stop. I wrote and wrote and the more I wrote, the more memories and intrusive thoughts would come to mind. It was as if I didn’t have any choice in this matter, I had to get the thoughts out of my head and onto paper; otherwise, I was sure I would go completely insane. The more I wrote, the more I was encouraged by my treatment team to publish my writings. My primary goal in publishing is to help others that did go through similar experiences and/or to help those that are currently being abused.
The person that was put on earth to love and care for me didn’t just abuse me, he tortured me using all means that were available to hurt and humiliate and try to do whatever it took to break my spirit."
My father never did break my spirit because God, Jesus, and wild horses were always there for me when I needed them the most." --Michael Lee Johnson

1 bookMichael Lee Johnson is a U.S. Army combat veteran who grew up in Southeastern Oklahoma. He became a welder and fabricator after his tour in Vietnam working on land and offshore oil rigs. Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder interfered in his daily life to the point it became necessary for Michael to seek inpatient treatment.

In October of 2015, he began his first treatment session for childhood related issues.
He currently resides in Northeastern Illinois with his family. His free time is spent fishing, metal detecting, and reading as well as enjoying his other passions. Mr. Johnson is fortunate enough to live in an area surrounded by lakes, so he's able to spend his days catching Bass and Northern pike. His metal detector works underwater to a depth of three hundred feet, which provides numerous opportunities for treasure hunting.
