"People present us with many challenging situations. All of which require a theological understanding and applying biblical wisdom...I am thankful for Anne providing us with a much-needed resource for helping us navigate this especially challenging situation in a God-glorifying way."

Andrew D. Rogers, PhD. Executive Director, Overseas Instruction in Counseling

"Helping women in abusive situations is one of the responsibilities of the local church. As Christians, we need to be equipped to know how to help. It was helpful to read a female perspective on an issue where husbands, church leaders, and brothers in Christ, need to do so much more. This book is an excellent resource to think through the subject biblically so that we can be better informed and more fully equipped to offer God-honoring support."

Alasdair McPherson, Bible teacher
