By: Anne Dryburgh

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book is a practical, biblical resource for Christian women being treated in an emotionally abusive manner by their husbands, and for those counseling them. In this second and renamed edition of the book Debilitated and Diminished: Help for Women in Emotionally Abusive Marriages questions have been added at the end of the first three chapters. These are designed for the emotionally abused woman as she seeks to know the Lord and apply the principles suggested in the book. Those counseling such women will also find the questions helpful.
