The Word trains you to respond to someoneβs attempts to abuse you
God can rebuild you and strengthen your faith in the aftermath of abuse
Michelle lays bare the motivations, manipulations, and common tactics of abusers. Pastors, friends, counselors and of course the abused will all be fortified, blessed and equipped by reading this seminal work on abuse. In a word, I found this book to be nothing less than brilliant.
