A critical resource for victims and survivors of domestic violence, and for the rabbis and advocates who work with them. Includes a preface by Rabbi Mark Dratch.

Many Christians believe domestic abuse doesn't occur in Christian homes. Sadly, religion is not a deterrent. The author answers the difficult question: Am I being abused? along with theological questions like: Do I have to submit to this? Does God care about me? Does the Bible say I can leave him? This book provides Christian people the guidance needed within the religious context.

Coming from a Christian perspective, the book is a holistic journey of healing the mind, body and soul for women who have suffered emotional abuse. Helps readers set boundaries with a former abuser, learn self-care, strengthens the relationship with God, create a path to forgiveness, explore readiness for new relationships, if not, contentment as a single person who brings glory to God.

Have you ever been so hurt that you couldn't imagine ever being whole again? Do you know someone who is so broken that all the pieces to their puzzle no longer exist? Do you know what it feels like to have all your hopes and dreams collapse with little to no hope of ever seeing them come to fruition? Mina Raulston found herself in just that situation when she was forced to divorce her husband.

Leslie Vernick, counselor and social worker, has witnessed the devastating effects of emotional abuse. Many, including many in the church, have not addressed this form of destruction in families and relationships because it is difficult to talk about. With godly guidance and practical experience, Vernick offers an empathetic approach to recognizing an emotionally destructive relationship.

Sue Parisher details the lies she had to overcome in order to become a true survivor.
