Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lynne Baker shows her compassion and determination to wake the religious and secular communities to action and care. " -- Len Matthews, Salvation Army This book takes a very real look into the lives of Christian women who cope with domestic abuse on a daily basis. It explores their experiences of physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, financial, and spiritual abuse at the hands of their perpetrator husbands who claim themselves to be good Christians. Through extensive interviews combined with academic research, the reader comes face to face with the complexity of issues surrounding such domestic abuse and how counselling can be effective through the encouragement of a variety of religious and non-religious coping strategies. Of interest to victims of domestic abuse, as well as to the members of the clergy, psychologists, and counsellors, this book shows there is a place in the Christian church for women to separate and to be divorced without losing their faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out a simple guide for counsellors to help an abused woman move from being a victim to taking control of her life and relationships. First the woman is helped to understand if her positive personality traits such as hopefulness and deep empathy have resulted in her missing potential warning signs in an abusive relationship. We then move on to determine whether the person abusing the woman has features of a personality disorder. Such individuals are often abusive because of their unhealthy beliefs and attitudes towards others. If this is the case then the woman needs to let go of the hope that she can change her abuser as well as the guilt she may be carrying for the relationship not working. Other unhealthy past relationships are explored and these include her parents or other family members which may have predisposed her to tolerate abusive behaviour. The next stage includes educating the woman about practical strategies of assertiveness to deal with the abusers in her life. Throughout the sessions we provide her with the compassion of a listening ear, and validation for her courage. We help her understand that even though she has not received the love she had hoped for, she is still a beloved worthwhile child of God. She is then able to make a decision as to whether to stay in the abusive relationship or leave. In either case the goal is for her to take control of her life, deal assertively with the unhealthy people who are abusing her and learn how to choose healthy friends and become a healthy person herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it My Fault? proclaims the gospel of healing and hope to victims who know too well the depths of destruction and the overwhelming reality of domestic violence. At least one in every three women have been beaten, coerced into sex, or abused in their lifetime. The effects of domestic violence are physical, social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual, and can have long-lasting distressing consequences. It is common for victims of domestic violence to suffer from ongoing depression and recurring nightmares, self-harm, such as cutting, panic attacks, substance abuse, and more. This book exists to address the abysmal issues of domestic violence using the powerful and transforming biblical message of grace and redemption. Is It My Fault? convincingly shows that the Lord is the only one who can heal the despairing victim. It deals with this devastating problem and sin honestly and directly without hiding its prevalence today.

Book excerpt: Weaves together biblical exposition and practical application to demonstrate how emotions relate to the Christian life. Emotions are a vital part of what it means to be a human being made in the image of God and redeemed in Jesus Christ. But often our emotions confuse and mislead us. So what is the proper place for emotions in a Christian's walk of faith? In Feelings and Faith Brian Borgman draws from his extensive biblical knowledge and his pastoral experience to help readers understand both divine and human emotions. After laying a biblical foundation he moves on to practical application, focusing on how Christians can put to death ungodly emotional displays and also cultivate godly emotions. This biblically informed, practical volume is helpful for pastors, counselors, and serious-minded Christians who wish to develop a full-orbed faith that encompasses their emotional life.

In this second 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 counselling such women will also find the questions helpful. Praise for The Emotionally Abusive Husband "Well-balanced, biblically sound, and user-friendly. A practical tool that avoids extremes to determine the possible status of abuse. Every biblically oriented counselor needs to have this book available. Anne provides direction to further additional dependable biblical resources to assist with addressing the issue of abuse." Dr. Howard Eyrich, Director of Biblical Counseling D.Min Program, Birmingham Theological Seminary, USA "Anne addresses one of the most overlooked sin issues in her book and uses her vast experience in discipleship and biblical counseling to minister to women broken by emotionally abusive marriages. The book is designed to provide biblical insights for women who are struggling in emotionally abusive relationships and for the churches that want to help them....I look forward to using this book with my counselees." Shannon Kay McCoy, MABC, ACBC. Biblical Counseling Director, Valley Center Community Church, CA, USA; Council Member of the Biblical Counseling Coalition; and author of Help! I’m A Slave to Food "Emotional abuse can often seem to be a vague concept, but in her book Anne gives a clear definition and description. She also provides specific ways for the victim to understand what’s happening and how to respond biblically....A very helpful book for biblical counselors." Don Roy, D.Min Training Center Director, Institute for Biblical Counseling and Discipleship, Slidell, Louisiana, USA "Here is a resource that seeks to restore dignity to abused women through total immersion in relevant scriptural truths...Anne’s approach is thoroughly biblical, sensitive, and practical." Jane Kratz, Pastoral Care Counsellor, Kommetjie Christian Church, Kommetjie, South Africa; Vice-Chairman of Biblical Counselling Africa. "People present us with many challenging situations. All of which require a theological understanding and applying biblical wisdom...I am thankful for Anne providing us with a much-needed resource for helping us navigate this especially challenging situation in a God-glorifying way." Andrew D. Rogers, PhD. Executive Director, Overseas Instruction in Counseling "Helping women in abusive situations is one of the responsibilities of the local church. As Christians, we need to be equipped to know how to help. It was helpful to read a female perspective on an issue where husbands, church leaders, and brothers in Christ, need to do so much more. This book is an excellent resource to think through the subject biblically so that we can be better informed and more fully equipped to offer God-honoring support." Alasdair McPherson, Bible teacher
