A well-researched biblical and scientific overview of abuse--its various types and effects and how to heal from it.
Abuse can be sexual, physical, neglect, spiritual, and verbal. The chief arguments pursued throughout the book are:
Abuse is far more rampant than most Christians realize, but due to human depravity and satanic influence, widespread abuse is predicable.
All types of abuse create profound, long-term soul damage due to the way abuse perverts various aspects of the image of God.
God is the healing redeemer. Human salvation came through horrible physical abuse.
