Judging Me
“Seeking justice for those who cannot fight for themselves is a pursuit that deeply binds me. My honor to this commitment has allowed me to rise above a set of ongoing horrific and absurd circumstances.”
--From the book “Judging Me”
By Mary Elizabeth Bullock
“Judging Me” by Mary Elizabeth Bullock is actually three books in one. First, it covers--in detail--the abuse suffered by the author during her childhood and formative years. Second, it covers her as she grows up and makes her way through the maze of being a ‘survivor’, as she makes her way towards adulthood, eventually entering the field of law. She rises in the ranks of the legal profession--but hides a sinister ‘payback’ side which manages to surface. Lastly, the work features a very frank discussion of the field of law from an insider’s view as a law school student, lawyer, teacher of law, and finally--a judge.
The book has been out for a little while, as it is listed on Amazon.com. This is NOT going to be a book that one will ‘breeze through’ in a weekend, nor does it have a ‘happily every after’ ending. However, IF you are looking for a work that speaks specifically on the issues and sub-issues which surround childhood sexual abuse, Bullock delivers. Those who deal with victims of such abuse in the counseling center or the jailhouse should view this book as required reading, whether dealing with female OR male victims.
“Judging Me” is a self-published memoir (2013, 162 pages, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform), composed of 27 short chapters. Bullock, who has retired from the bench, writes honestly from--and for--the heart. Yes, the book does discuss spirituality and religion--and its impact upon the issues which she raises. However, it does NOT examine the freeing relationship of Jesus Christ which has appeared in the testimonies and memoirs of some of the other authors in this genre. At the end of the day though, the real blessing of the book comes from the fact that the author is on the front lines fighting for others. This is a credit to her legal training, and her dedication to helping others who may not have a champion for themselves.
“Judging Me” can be found on line, or contact may be made with the author at honorablejudgebullock@gmail.com.

Destinations: Hope ..A Guide Through Life's Unexpected Journeys
Book Review Summary . Book Review Preview . Shellie Nichol . Pain . Hope . Radio Broadcaster . Radio Trip . Rest Stops . Detour . God's Journey . Inspiration
Beep ... Beep ... Beep
The hospital monitor beeps loud and constant with Shellie's beautiful son's heart attached at the other end. The beep stops. An alarm sounds. Kody is not breathing. The nurses rush in and yell for her son to breathe.
Shellie shares the most difficult parts of her life in her book. She also suffered from being physically and mentally abused as a child, molested, bullied, going through two divorces, fighting cervical cancer, losing a child, suffering from an eating disorder, experiencing panic and anxiety, ADD, OCD, and a doctor pronouncing a death sentence on her first born.
This was the very second her life changed and led her to the edge of the exciting ride down ... when her life would suddenly become a miraculous story.
"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." 'Proverbs 16:9'
Shellie is glad for those who have decided to come on this journey with her. Shellie never gives up.
She wants to make sure we have everything we need. Grab a suitcase to all out travel essentials.
Tissue (for the tears that will sneak up on you)
Disinfectant soap (to wash away the stubborn stains)
Underclothes
Umbrella (for the rain will surely run into)
Band-Aids (to protect your wounds, so they can heal}
Your Great Big Book of Hope (Your Bible)
Sunglasses (the sun is going shine and it will be brrr-ight - that's God's promise, and her's)
One Way - Preparation
"All journey's have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware."-_ Martin Buder
When we are children, our innocence allows us to pave the perfect road. We believe everything is perfect, that it will stay perfect, and nothing will get in our way.
There is no perfect road. God himself says: "For I know the plans I have for you; declares the Lord; plans to prosper you and not to to harm you, plan to give you a hope and a future"
So are you ready to jump in and discover God's plans?
Heather and her husband already had a son when they found out they were expecting twins. The names Rebekah and Rachel came to mind before she knew they would be girls.
Heather enjoyed dressing her girls up in the same outfits.
Then one fateful day, Heather discovered while changing her baby's diaper of her 18=month old baby something that did not appear right. Rebekah had to have a biospy which determined a rare form of cancer.
Rachel now 6, began to complain about back pain . Rachel began screaming in pain and asked to go to the doctor.
Rachel had leukemia, her bone marrow and spinal fluid.
Heather's mother lost all hope and died. She died of a broken heart,
Miraculously, despite the aggresive treatments, Rachel suffered no side effects at all: God had answers these prayers.
Are you ready to ask God to take over? Do you trust ?Him?
