Wings Like a Dove: Healing for the Abused Christian Woman

Through the voices of victims, clergy and helping professionals, Wings Like a Dove offers hope and healing to abused women and valuable information for religious and community groups.

O that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. PSALM 55

Wings Like a Dove includes:

	Reassurance to Christian women that the abuse is not their fault, they are not alone and God will be with them on their journey to safety and healing
	In-depth discussion of theological issues that are often troubling or confusing for Christian women in abusive relationships: blame, submission, anger, the marriage covenant, divorce, repentance, forgiveness, despair and faith
	Information about the effects of domestic violence on children
	A 32-page study guide and a package of awareness brochures
