About the When a Woman You Love was Abused:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that 80 percent of childhood abuse victims later suffer from at least one abuse-induced psychological disorder. It's proven that the effects of childhood abuse follow women into adulthood. Yet few men are prepared to deal with those effects, even when their own wife is the one who is suffering. And their wife's suffering becomes their own suffering as their needs aren't being met by a wife who is powerless to control her inner turmoil.
Author, pastor, and survivor Dawn Scott Jones candidly
shares her own abuse experience to help husbands understand the varied
emotions, fears, distorted thoughts, and triggers that hold their wives
captive. In practical and accessible language, Jones explains the stages
of the healing journey (processing denial, asking for help, grieving,
expressing anger, learning to forgive, and finding resolution). Building on
that knowledge, Jones then moves to an honest discussion of what husbands
can do to help. Whether it's creating a healing environment, understanding the
need for control, building trust, or even just praying for healing, a husband
plays an active role in helping his wife survive and thrive despite her
past abuse.
Offering hope for a healthy marriage relationship, When a Woman You Love Was Abused answers the questions men have and offers the advice they need to help their wives finally find peace.

Cat Hoort of Kregel says, ""We are seeking to provide safe means for Christian women to be vulnerable with each other, to seek help and guidance from authors and counselors, and to find encouragement from those who have shared similar experiences. Our hope is that the Women Redeemed webcast will become a forum for hurting women as well as for those who can help.
