Domestic Violence: Breaking the Silence Expanded Edition

Domestic violence leaves wounds that extend far beyond physical harm. It affects emotional health, spiritual well-being, relationships, identity, and the ability to trust. Domestic Violence: Breaking the Silence is a faith-based workbook designed to help readers understand abuse, break free from silence, and begin a journey toward healing, freedom, and restoration through biblical truth and practical application.

This expanded edition explores the realities of domestic violence, the damaging effects of fear, shame, manipulation, and control, and God's heart for those who have been wounded by abuse. Through biblical teaching, reflection questions, prayers, and action steps, readers are encouraged to confront painful truths, embrace healing, establish healthy boundaries, and rediscover their God-given identity and purpose.

Inside this workbook, you will discover:

• How to recognize the signs and effects of domestic violence
