Chloe Cummings D.B.S.<br />

these, I encourage the Church to approach the matter by doing<br />

the radical things that <strong>Jesus</strong> did when He dealt with the abuse<br />

and violence, which He encountered both directly and indirectly. I<br />

also desire that Christian women who are encountering abuse<br />

(whether emotional, spiritual, verbal, psychological, financial,<br />

physical, or otherwise) will be able to filter their experience<br />

through the sieve of God’s Word. I pray that the eyes of their<br />

understanding will be enlightened and that they will experience<br />

true freedom in Christ through the information presented in this<br />

book.<br />

I believe that the Church is to trust God’s Word and<br />

<strong>Jesus</strong>’ examples; believing fully that if they apply the Word of<br />

God to any situation that they may encounter, God’s Word will<br />

work perfectly in the Christian’s life.<br />

Though I’ve earned a <strong>Do</strong>ctorate in Biblical Studies, and I<br />

am in practice as a Biblical Counselor with years of experience in<br />

helping women and men of faith through personal crisis, what I<br />

present in this book are not the assertions of an expert. I claim<br />

neither to be a Bible expert nor a counseling expert. Anyone with<br />

a desire, motivation, money, and time to study, can get a piece<br />

of paper declaring them “edumacated” 8 in any field. Rather, I am<br />

a sister in the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong>, and a woman of God who desires to<br />

bring freedom to the Body of Christ by promoting liberty 9 and the<br />

truth of God’s Word for “the truth shall make you free.” 10 Mike<br />

Murdock says that what you hate reveals what you are created<br />

to change; in other words, what you hate is a clue to something<br />

you are assigned to correct; 11 and this book is one Christian<br />

woman’s contribution to affect change regarding how the Church<br />

of <strong>Jesus</strong> Christ responds to domestic violence and abuse<br />

towards Christian women.<br />

I believe that if we did the things which <strong>Jesus</strong> did in His<br />

own abuse experiences, personal and otherwise, domestic<br />

abuse would not be as pervasive as it is in the Christian home<br />
