Unholy Matrimony - Domestic Violence "Christian Women Suffering in Silence"

by Theresa Thompson

Overview

Unholy Matrimony: Domestic Violence - Christian Women Suffering in Silence seeks to break the silence and shed light on the plight of Christian women who endure abuse within their marriages. This book is not merely a critique but a call to action. It is an invitation for the Church to rise to its biblical mandate of justice and protection, to support survivors, and to hold perpetrators accountable.

Through biblical insights, real-life stories, and practical resources, this book will explore the complex dynamics of domestic violence within Christian marriages. It will address the misuse of Scripture to justify control and abuse, challenge the cultural and theological norms that keep women in harmful situations, and offer a roadmap for healing and restoration for survivors.

This book also aims to equip pastors, church leaders, and congregations with the tools they need to identify, respond to, and prevent domestic violence. It is a call for the Church to reclaim its role as a place of refuge and redemption, to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, and to live out the Gospel's call to love, justice, and reconciliation.

About the Author

Theresa Thompson is a devoted writer, poet, and songwriter whose creative journey spans decades, with her works reflecting a deep commitment to faith and a passion for honoring God. Raised in a religious community, Theresa witnessed firsthand the suffering of many women of faith who silently endured domestic violence within the church. Throughout her upbringing, she saw Christian women trapped in abusive marriages, often suffering for decades in silence. The only peace many found was in the death of their husbands, and their pain was often overlooked or dismissed. This painful reality ignited Theresa's inspiration to write Unholy Matrimony - Domestic Violence: Christian Women Suffering in Silence, a powerful book that sheds light on the hidden struggles of women in the church, offering a voice to those who have long been silenced.
