Living Beyond Abuse

Have you ever thought about the possibilities that could exist outside of the confines of the emotional and physical turmoil that the pains of an abusive past have brought you? Have you considered a life beyond abuse? This book is a great inspiration to help you on your journey to complete and total healing from all the hurts and pains of your abuse. Many times, we find ourselves living minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week after week, month after month, and year after year bound and attached at the hip to the trauma we experienced as a child and throughout our early adult years. Just when we seem to try to initiate an effort to move on past the wounds of our broken past something pull us back in. We return to the feelings and emotions associated with the abuse and neglect we experienced by our loved ones and close family friends. As a result, we never experience God's best for our lives. So my question to you is what do you want? Will you dare to trust God and believe Him for the best? Will you choose faith over fear? Will you choose to live beyond abuse? Will you choose today to live a life free of all the stigma and stereotypes associated with being a victim and walk in the restoring power of God not only as a survivor, but also as a victorious overcomer. If you are ready to begin inside you will find just what you have been looking for. I have written a guide that consists of 20 power packed and thought provoking keys to living the God kind of life. These keys of faith will help you unlock and reach your fullest potential. God's purpose for you is not to be held hostage by the pains and the hurts of your past, but to heal you and mend your broken heart so you can live again. You can live beyond abuse!

Jerhonda tells her story of abuse and how she was able to move on from it

In January 2004 a newly founded evangelical organization called PASCH was formed. The word denotes the Passover or time of new beginnings--when God kept people safe in their own homes before leading them into freedom from abuse and oppression. Yet the word PASCH also stands for Peace and Safety in the Christian Home. PASCH began as a small group of therapists, sociologists, domestic-violence experts, clergy, biblical scholars, survivors--and dedicated Christians. In essence, PASCH was born out of the cries, confusion, and frustration of the people of God. As we encountered many horrifying situations of domestic abuse in Christian homes, those of us who seek to address various aspects of the issue concluded that we needed a fellowship of concerted study, prayer, and action. It was the dream of Catherine Clark Kroeger that an edited book might emerge from the 2005 and 2006 PASCH conferences in order that the papers, presentations, and discussions might be widely available. We found that to make that happen, we needed to work together: that each of us possessed one piece of the puzzle, and that by God's grace we could collectively begin to put the pieces together. The topic of abuse is ugly, which is why so many Christians shy away from discussing it. But in this volume we have tried to present an accurate, faith-based analysis of abuse in the Christian family context. We hope that various chapters stimulate discussion--sometimes debate--and in so doing prompt pastor and people to action. We call on you the reader to consider the various ideas and perspectives offered throughout the book. Hopefully each chapter will prompt you to consider afresh how you conceptualize violence among families of faith. Like you, the reader, the contributors to our collection come from various faith traditions, work in different contexts, and see the issue in part based on their own narrative and training. Yet, despite our differences--and our ongoing debates--we are unanimous that violence has no place in the home. Every home should be a safe place; every home a shelter. When abuse occurs in families of faith, it is the responsibility of the church to offer compassion and support to victims and to call those who act abusively to accountability and justice. Our edited collection includes ∑ Dan Allender speaking from the heart about the impact of the fall on relationships between men and women; ∑ Al Miles reflecting on his pastoral experience of the difficulties and opportunities of speaking out against violence in Christian families; ∑ Bruce and Karen McAndless-Davis offering one couple's story of the long journey toward accountability and dramatic change; ∑ Julie Owens retelling her own dramatic story of abuse, the life imprisonment of her ex-partner and what she wished every pastor knew about domestic violence.
