Förlagets beskrivning
In "What Women Wish Pastors Knew", author Denise George cites a survey which asked 6, 000 pastors how they would treat women who were being abused by their husbands. Twenty six percent of the pastors who took part in this survey admitted they would advise victims of domestic violence to be submissive to their husbands. Fifty percent of these pastors said women should be willing to "tolerate some level of violence" in their marriage, and that "domestic violence is better than divorce". In light of these research findings, while nearing completion of my book, Protecting Our Children ~ Defending Ourselves, I vowed to prepare a Bible Study in order to assist church members, clergy included, in becoming better equipped to be able to truly help victims, and survivors, of domestic violence and child abuse. Did you know that your well meaning advice to "just leave" could be fatal to the victim of domestic violence? Do you realize that when you use the word "forgiveness" with a survivor of domestic violence that you are potentially placing her in harm's way? From the "Protector Persona" to the "Safe Escape Essentials", this Bible Study will help you gain awareness specific to the dynamics of domestic violence and child abuse so that, whether you help just one person with this information, or become the one person in your church family who victims and survivors know they can trust, you will be able to effectively answer God's call to each and every one of us to help bring an end to the suffering. Clearly, women and children do not deserve to be abused physically, emotionally, and/or sexually. Please, reach out and help, so that victims and survivors can know that God wants them to be safe, that God loves them, and that you love them too. (to be read in conjunction with the book "Protecting Our Children ~ Defending Ourselves)
