The devastation and pain domestic violence brings to families, children and communities is enough to bring any people of conscious to tears. All things considered, it is painfully obvious that the paramount need of abused women is hope. As Jay Adams so clearly put it, “People with long-standing problems...people with peculiarly difficult problems…people who have been sold a bill of goods about their problems…people who are harassed by fear…those who have tried and failed…depressed people…suicidal people…people who have suffered life-shattering experiences…people without Christ…all need HOPE.”
Readers of this book can be those instruments of hope. And through the informed support of friends like you, who cared enough to learn more about domestic violence, lives can be saved, broken hearts can be healed, fractured marriages can be restored, and homes can once again be restored to places of life and sanctuary for all. Will you be God’s agent of hope?
