Michele Armstrong describes in detail her journey from victim to victor, bringing to light the objective that freedom from the evil grip of abuse is available to everyone through the healing power of Jesus. Anyone can be a victim; and unfortunately, many times abusers are well-respected leaders in society and even in the church. Hiding behind the mask of charisma and charm in the public eye, abusers are monsters behind closed doors.

Through informed awareness, the church can foster a safe and healing environment, and dispel the religious stigma associated with victimization and the aftermath. Exposure dismantles the stronghold, and with awareness comes responsibility of change and a redemptive solution for all individuals, marriages, families, and churches across every corner of the world.

If the spouse of one of these abusers comes to you for help, would you even be able to recognize the signs? How will you understand the dynamics of this deceiving evil? Pastor and author Jeff Crippen presents Christ's body with a work steeped in Scripture that lays before us a map of the abusive mind, the tactics of abuse, the effects abuse has on its victims, and the tragic way our churches have failed the victims of this sin.

Together we can root out the wolves in the midst of the flock and unmask the domestic abuser in the church hiding in our pews.
