Description

This book provides a well-researched biblical and scientific overview of abuse. A broad overview, it deals with the quite a lot of types of abuse, the quite a lot of effects of abuse, and the means of healing. Abuse may also be sexual, physical, neglect, spiritual, and verbal. The chief arguments pursued right through the book are: (1) abuse is far more rampant than most Christians realize, but because of human depravity and satanic influence, widespread abuse is predicable. (2) All types of abuse create profound, long-term soul damage because of the way in which abuse perverts quite a lot of aspects of the image of God. (3) God is the healing redeemer. Human salvation came through horrible physical abuse. (4) Healing will have to take place in the context of relationships. Humans are deeply impacted by others because of being made in the image of God. Just as indubitably as abusive relationships have tremendous power to wound the soul, so healthy relationships have tremendous power to nurture and heal the soul. Questions answered in the book include: – How can a genuine believer abuse a child? – Why would any individual abuse a child? – How can parents and childrens’ workers identify abusers? – How can abuse sufferers heal? – What does genuine healing appear to be? – Is anger appropriate or hurtful for abuse sufferers? – Where does forgiveness fit in? Helpful sample child protection policy, application, screening interview, and warning signs of potential abusers equip ministry leaders. Illustrations, case studies, and art therapy drawings.
