Domestic violence is a leading cause of injury and death to women
worldwide. Nearly one in four women around the globe is physically
or sexually abused in her lifetime, and gender violence causes more
death and disability among women aged 15 to 44 than cancer,
malaria, traffic accidents or war. Regrettably, the church is not
immune to this problem. Numerous studies suggest that incident
rates among active churchgoers are nearly the same as those among
the general populace. In this thoroughly revised and updated
edition, Catherine Clark Kroeger and Nancy Nason-Clark share with
readers a further ten years of experience in listening to the
voices of women from around the world and especially to those
within the church. They help us hear their cries and find concrete
ways to respond so that no home will be a place of abuse. In this
immensely helpful guide you'll find true stories and updated
statistics that illustrate the gravity and extent of the problem
worldwide a look at what Scripture says about domestic violence,
including verbal abuse and patterns of concealment, secrecy and
silence a discussion of how proper concerns for Christian families
can be twisted to endanger women and their children an assessment
of alternatives to suffering in silence in a threatening
environment new chapters on what churches can do and an
introduction to the RAVE (Religion and Violence e-Learning) Project
website, which provides a wide array of continually updated
resources Here is a book for all who want to make a difference in
women's lives.
