This book is addressed directly to women experiencing domestic abuse, and to those who seek to support them, including pastoral leaders, friends, and support organizations. It debunks the myths—perpetuated by some abusers and, unwittingly, by many churches—which prevent women from getting out of harm’s way. It helps them realize that the Bible does not belong to their abuser but is a text of liberation. Written with careful attention to pastoral issues, it closely examines and clearly explains the relevant scriptural texts.
