Domestic Violence: Assault on a Woman's Worth

by June Hunt

Overview

Experts estimate that 1-in-3 women suffer from some form of violence from a husband, boyfriend, or relative. Any form of abuse is a flagrant violation of the marriage vows, "to have and to hold from this day forward, to love and to cherish, 'til death do us part." And although such abuse is too frequently behind closed doors, it is blatantly in the open before the eyes of the Lord.

This mini-book is a quick overview and is easy-to-understand. It focuses on the key issues and is perfect for the busy person who needs instant advice.

Included in the mini-book Domestic Violence: Assault on a Woman's Worth are abuse checklists with a list of behaviors that you may have observed or experienced. God has a heart for those who are victims of domestic violence. He wants you to know that he hears your cries; he thinks you are worthy of love without violence, and he holds you in the palm of his hand. Learn the causes of violent behavior and the reasons many women won't leave abusive relationships. This book will give you the tools to learn:

• How to answer a person who claims that violence is justified
• How to know whether the abuser has really changed
• How to build healthy boundaries
• How to prepare a safety plan
• And much more

God designed the marriage relationship to benefit one another. He intended married couples to love, honor, and cherish each other all the days of their lives, but life doesn't always turn out that way. In some relationships, cruelty has replaced the sacred relationship defined by God. The Domestic Violence mini-book outlines a Christian approach to help you identify and stop physical and emotional abuse.
