Today, Anna gives us insight into how God was with her during this difficult
time, some of the ways that she found comfort, and what hope she would convey to pastors, leaders, and counselors who might be listening.

Join us on November 28, Episode 6 with Expert Contributor, Joy Forrest, Executive Director of Called to Peace. 

Darby Strickland's book Is It Abuse? : A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims  is excellent for both victims and church leaders for identifying the patterns of abuse. 

Dr. Jeremy Pierre and Dr. Greg Wilson's book When Home Hurts is particularly helpful for church leaders. 

Trevor Laurence's book Cursing with God: The Imprecatory Psalms and the Ethics of Christian Prayer
