Summary

What do you think of when you hear the word Leviathan? In Isaiah 27, Leviathan is described as a twisted serpent or dragon. Job 41 gives a lengthy description of the monster or beast. But no matter how I think of it or what form it may take, I always think of leviathan as hell-a place I have visited and never want to return to.Meet Ruth Zayak. At the age of three, Ruth had already experienced more in her short life than most children should at her young age. In her agonizing struggle through a life of neglect, as well as emotional, sexual, and physical abuse, Ruth had to make crucial actions and decisions to rid herself of the predator's grasp that had taken her life on a twisted and coiled journey. This book depicts how Ruth overcame all hardships-not allowing all the years of lies, mental imprisonment, shame, or even the loss of a child rule her life-and teaches others who may have been born out of abuse that they too can become free from all of the monsters in their lives. In this powerful true story, follow Ruth on her journey and discover for yourself how she was Delivered from the Leviathan Monster.
