A must for Churches and ministries

Author has the heart and a clear biblical and psychological perspective on abuse. This book is a great tool to understanding how abuse must be dealt with.

A must read for church leaders

Too many church leaders have failed women and children caught in the cycle of abusive marriages. Worse yet sometimes it is the pastor himself abusing in his wife. This is an egregious affront to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. May this become required reading in seminaries. May pastors who have heard the cry of the oppressed read this book and promote its message in their congregations. Having lived it there are no easy solutions but the church can and should learn how to support these women as they navigate through and out of the turmoil of these toxic relationships either through leaving safely with support. Or in the rare case of genuine repentance should SHE choose reconciliation to offer ongoing support and accountability after a long pattern of genuine repentance has been confirmed.
