domestic violence and abuse. This book is one result of my<br />

studies and my years of experience as a counselor, and also as<br />

one who has been a victim of domestic abuse in a “Christian”<br />

home.<br />

Though, this is in part a studious work, I wrote it with the<br />

lay reader in mind, someone who, like me, desires to become<br />

equipped with knowledge that can enable them to move towards<br />

maturity and freedom in Christ. I site several studies and a<br />

magnitude of Scripture; mainly because it would be lunacy,<br />

arrogance and blasphemous for anyone to presume to imagine<br />

that <strong>Jesus</strong> would do something if it were not supported by the<br />

Holy Bible.<br />

Many Church leaders and counselors not only want to<br />

know how they should approach domestic violence and abuse<br />

situations, but they want the assurance that they are acting in<br />

accordance with the Word of God. I did the “homework” by<br />

diligently studying the Scripture and particularly looking at <strong>Jesus</strong>’<br />

life experiences with violence and abuse, so that pastors, church<br />

leaders, counselors, victims, and others can have a reliable<br />

resource to help them filter this trauma through the Word of God<br />

and respond as <strong>Jesus</strong> would - in a manner pleasing to God.<br />
