The Artist's Rage is the sequel to The Artist's Page - taking the story further, when those who recognise The Artist, (God) are sent out to invite others to get to know Him. But as we know, there are those who display a genuine humble kindness in portraying the love of God to others... while there are those who sadly take it upon themselves to self righteously judge and batter, where pride and boastfulness replaces compassion and humbleness. The Artist's Rage speaks of the consequences of the attitude that has misrepresented The Artist, and made Him unattractive to know.

Street Pastors was pioneered in London in 2003 by Les Isaac. Since then they have trained over 12,000 volunteers, who play an active part in strengthening community life and working for safer streets.
In this episode, Debra Rufini interviews Portsmouth Street Pastor, Jackie Hunt.
Your podcast host is Debra Rufini who is also the host of the Deborah Feeney show with the Artist's First Radio Network in New York.
My podcast features the monthly shows which cover varied subject matter from various guests, but which mainly focuses on issues relating to narcissistic abuse.
As a survivor of female abuse myself, I have formed the website www.womenwhoabusewomen.com to raise awareness of female to female abuse and to be of support to female survivors of female abusers.
Abuse of course is very wrong from any gender. But there is presently very little covered specifically on women who abuse other women.
I'm also the author of The Artist's Page, which is an inspirational short story brought to life through expressive illustration, which is ideal for anyone on a spiritual journey, or who is spiritually seeking or spirit least sceptical. I trust that future shows will be varied, enlightening, and will encourage people to come forward and speak up.
