No More Hurting
Life Beyond Sexual Abuse
Gwen Purdie
To many of us sexual abuse is a bewildering and deeply uncomfortable topic. News reports on the issue are greeted with a shake of the head as we think of the damage done, however in most cases, as the news continues, our minds gratefully move on to more comfortable areas. What do we do when we are faced with someone who has suffered abuse? - Or if you yourself have suffered abuse?
This book is a thoroughly Christian response to issues surrounding sexual abuse and shouts that there is LIFE after abuse. It is a frank look at a complex situation that affects more people than we would want to believe. It shows how to deal with many of the symptoms that those who have been abused are likely to suffer.

'When reading this book one realises that God not only cares deeply for the abused, but that He has spoken directly to them in the pages of the Bible.'

'Gwen knows how to ask the right questions - those that get to the very heart of the matter, no matter how painful. Yet, she possesses an extraordinary wit that ministers the medicine of good cheer and hope to weary souls.'
