Christian Self-Help for Victims of Domestic Abuse and Violence
"You are not powerless", my mother would often say to encourage and to remind me of a vital truth...a truth she lived and practiced even as one of many young battered Christian wives. Today, she is the victorious author of The Beauty of Staying Together--a novel based on true events written to inspire the same true message in other women. Christian self-help for victims of domestic abuse and violence is a must read even when professional marriage counseling is sought. Why? Because the victim needs to help herself regardless of the help she may or may not receive from others. Often, at the very root of the serious problem of domestic violence and abuse is the ugliness of low self-esteem, particularly in the wife...of any age. Such was the problem of Calvina, the very young protagonist of this real-life topsy-turvy drama.
Who Can Benefit from Christian Self-Help for Victims of Domestic Abuse and Violence?
The short and broad answer is: everyone. However, those who have read The Beauty of Staying Together by Vanessa Winters--among whom are psychologists--tend to agree that the woman with a Christian background is more likely to identify with the deep and life-changing lessons presented in the read. Taking that one step further, the African American battered wife will identify with some of the unique challenges faced within African American communities. The inspiring and wonderful part of Christian self-help for victims of domestic abuse and violence is that the biblical truths put forth in natural and easy-to-understand language apply to everyone of any and all cultures and backgrounds. God's Word is for everyone.
Unmasking the Problems Hidden Behind Domestic Violence
The Beauty of Staying Together is aimed at those who seriously desire to receive or offer practical Bible-based help to young battered wives--or wives of any age for that matter. Serious help requires tackling problems head first, and with a willingness to dig deep to unearth what gave birth to the problems in the first place, as well as what continues to feed them. This is absolutely essential, just as we believe it is imperative to seek, get understanding of, and yield to God's living Word. The young protagonist of this story based on true events learned to do just that--but not without struggles, challenges and battles.
Keep in mind that no amount of marriage counseling or Christian self-help for victims of domestic abuse and violence takes the place of good old common sense. If you or your children are in danger of being physically harmed, you must use your God-given common sense and seek a safe haven. This, however, does not mean that you and your husband will never be able to experience the beauty of staying together. If we yield to God, all things are possible with Him (Matthew 19:26).
To start the journey of Christian self-help for victims of domestic violence, we invite you to read the first chapter of The Beauty of Staying Together FREE. We urge you not to skip the reading of the profiles of the main characters. The purpose is to begin forming opinions...opinions you might just drastically change as you follow the lives of these characters who are real individuals. Remember, we are all constantly forming opinions upon which we base lifelong decisions that might come back to haunt us later. Therefore, learning how to use the power of judgment is just one step emphasized in Christian self-help for victims of domestic abuse and violence. And remember, when you walk in obedience to God, you are not powerless.
Based on true events, The Third Man by Angela Sheffield, brings the Bible up close and personal as the characters face real issues of life: Betrayal, deceit, romance, bitterness, anger against God, hopelessness, will power, perplexity, triumph, unforgiveness, mental illness, and the "Alcohol made me do it" excuse. Read chapter one FREE now.
