Download Understanding Sexual Abuse: A Guide for Ministry Leaders and Survivors AudioBook Free
It is stated that the true test of the modern culture is how it treats its most prone members. As much as one in four women and one in six boys experience sexual misuse during childhood, and it's estimated that as much as one half of the incidents should never be reported. Which means that countless millions inside our societies, both children and people, carry this sophisticated, often hidden pain. What does the road to healing appear to be for survivors? And how can ministry leaders, pastors, and counselors best help them as they walk this difficult road? Drawing on both his own experience and his wife's experience as survivors of youth sexual misuse, minister and lecturer Tim Hein offers his experience, practical direction, and empathy both for ministry leaders and for survivors themselves. How can we best answer whenever a survivor stocks their secret with us? Where can survivors change for encouragement when the road to recovery seems so long and lonely? Hein presents specialized medical data and resources alongside pastoral knowledge and care, responding to both mental and spiritual aspects of sexual abuse. Both for many who have suffered erotic abuse and those in a position to help them, this publication is a rich resource. Filled up with both sober truths and the trust of Christ, it message or calls survivors to consider courage and walk unafraid later on of healing.
