Walking With Domestic Abuse Sufferers by Helen Thorne and published by IVP Books.
Tragically, the police receive a call about domestic abuse every minute. This is a hidden and terrifying phenomenon, sadly prevalent in churches as well as the wider community. If only this book weren’t needed. If only men and women didn’t beat their partners. If only spouses didn’t cruelly manipulate and control. If only people didn’t bully elderly relatives... Most incidents go under the radar, and it is estimated that only around a third come to the attention of the police.
This book goes right to the heart of the matter: the human heart. We see how to walk with sufferers and apply the Bible to everyday-life situations. We learn how to do ‘one anothering’ in our churches and communities.While offering practical help, the author focuses strongly on lasting solutions that are achieved only through God’s power.
