A Challenge to Churches and their Leaders
by Nancy Nason-Clark, Catherine Clark Kroeger, and Barbara Fisher-Townsend
|
Detailed Description
|
Domestic abuse is a horrific reality in society
and affects families throughout the world and those in our churches. The
difficulty often times is knowing how best to respond to the painful realities
of domestic violence as congregations, church leaders, and pastors. This book is
here to help. Through a collective effort and a diversity of voices, Responding
to Abuse in Christian Homes helps us learn how we can better address
the complexities of domestic violence and also asks the vital question of
whether or not we, as a community of faith, are stepping up to the challenges
presented by violence in the home.
