When Home Hurts: A Guide for Responding Wisely to Domestic Abuse in Your Church, by Jeremy Pierre and Greg Wilson
This is an important book for all pastors and ministry leaders to read. It brings great insight into the sad experience of a victim of domestic abuse, and gets into the deceived head of the abuser as well. It’s not naïve, but realistic about expectations, and at the same time presents a robust view of Biblical repentance. There is some repetition, but that’s OK – there is a lot of information to take in. With the multiple appendices at the end, this book is an excellent resource to prepare a church to care well for both the abused and those who abuse.
