This important book is good for anyone in ministry, but really for anyone that is around people. If you attend church and have people around you, read this book.
It gives you key points on what to do and what not to do when supporting those that experience different forms of violence, whether it be physical, mental, financial or other types of abuse. With a well laid out way, it gives you the tools to be the hands that heal instead of the hands that harm as so many Christians and churches are.
This book encouraged me that there are people that can change and work to heal those that are hurting.
