Solid scriptural evidence and a close look at historical context
refute the traditional interpretation used to bar women from
leadership.
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.

Abuse is ugly. It is always wrong. It is never part of God's design
for healthy family living. It distorts relationships and shatters
dreams. It creates pain and despair. It never produces hope. You
know this all too well--that's why you've picked up this book.
Nancy Nason-Clark and Catherine Clark Kroeger know the pain of
women who have been abused, especially the unique pain of Christian
women who thought it couldn't happen to them. In this
straightforward, practical book they supply the answer to the
questions you face: How do I know I need help? How much of my story
should I tell? Where do I find spiritual support as a victim of
abuse? What help can I find in the community? How do I get started
on the healing journey? What key steps will I need to take to get
on with my life? How can I understand what help my abuser needs?
How do I learn to trust God again? Their advice is solid, backed up
by Nason-Clark's professional expertise as a sociologist and
Kroeger's as a biblical scholar. Together they supply both
here-and-now, step-by-step advice you need to start the healing
journey and biblical insights to nourish your soul and sustain you
on the path to wholeness.
