ReviewsWe human beings tend not to see the ugly because it hurts. It's disturbing. And it calls you to do something. But nothing is hidden from the eyes of the sovereign and tender hearted God. He is brave to talk about Tamar and her sad story in His Holy Book, as we call it here in Turkey. Beyond Desolate invites us to see the ugly, to undersetand the sadness, and to rejoice in the redeeming work of the Lord while it equips us to be a part of the solution.
SynopsisOnce upon a time in a faraway land, a long, long, time ago, a beautiful girl lived in a royal palace.

She didn't live happily ever after. Something devastating hap, Once upon a time in a faraway land, a long, long, time ago, a beautiful girl lived in a royal palace. And as many daughters of kings do, she waited for the day when her Prince Charming would arrive on the scene, recognize her beauty, and fall in love with her. Prince Charming never came. She didn't live happily ever after. Something devastating happened. Her brother raped her. Her brother. Like an unannounced tornado that touches down before unsuspecting city-dwellers have a chance to take cover, sexual abuse blindsides victims in its wake. Against the backdrop of torment, Jesus, a fellow-sufferer, speakes into our anguish and paves the road toward a life beyond desolate. Beyond Desolate proclaims hope into a world not absent of ache, but a world where He bleeds with us and brings us a new song.
