Filled with both sober truths and the hope of Christ, the new bookUnderstanding Sexual Abuse calls survivors to take courage and walk unafraid down the road of healing.
As many as one in four girls and one in six boys experience sexual abuse during childhood, and it's estimated that as many as half of the incidents are never reported. This means that millions of people in our society carry this complex, often hidden pain. What does the path to healing look like for survivors?
Drawing on both his own experience and his wife's experience as survivors of childhood sexual abuse, minister and teacher Tim Hein offers his expertise, practical guidance, and empathy. Where can survivors turn for encouragement when the road to recovery seems so long and lonely? How can loved ones best respond when a survivor shares their secret?
Understanding Sexual Abuse is a rich resource for both sexual abuse survivors and those in a position to help them. Order it now and you'll get $5 off the retail price of $16 when you use promo code E4135 (or just click below and your discount will be applied).
