Honest helpful and loving advice
This little book is quick to read and will help give you courage to do what is right. Sometimes Christian women get so bogged down in guilt and the need to save our marriage, that we forget to save ourselves. This book is a must read for anyone in an abusive marriage seeking spiritual guidance. Solid, Christlike interpretation of scripture will offer much needed inspiration and encouragement.

Addresses the issue of abuse from a Christian perspective.
The author deals wisely with the religious aspect of abusive relationships. She uses scripture and reason to shed light on the dilemma of what to do about a relationship which is unbearable because of emotional or physical abuse.

what Christian beliefs hamper leaving a violent relationship
We were fortunate to have some of these booklets to pass out to women in our shelter who were struggling with guilt over whether they were disobeying God's will if they left an abusive relationship. The book offers biblical and sound answers to help Christian women make the best, healthy choice for themselves, their children, and even their spouse. Suggestions for helping from clergy is also included. Very necessary book!
