Abuse is a widespread problem, and those who have suffered it need help from the people around them. This mini-book equips the reader to offer compassionate biblical counsel to a victim, with practical instruction on helping them reach safety and on dealing with the abuser appropriately rather than quietly.

Newheiser is clear that some situations require authorities and trained professionals, and the booklet is written to help an ordinary church member respond well in the first instance rather than to make them the whole solution. Part of Shepherd Press's LifeLine mini-book series: brief, inexpensive, and written to be read quickly by someone who needs direction now. A sensible thing for a church to keep on hand, since the need rarely arrives with notice.
