Editorial Reviews

I am thankful Anne Dryburgh has published this short book on caring for rape victims. You can read it in a couple of hours but will reflect on and refer to it for many years to come. Her clear writing style and obvious experience have given me a deeper understanding of the horrific and pervasive impact such assault has on victims. Such understanding is a necessary prerequisite for providing sensitive and appropriate biblical care. Anne equips her readers with the wisdom, sensitivity, and theological finesse she has been employing in her care of women over many years. In reading this book, you have the opportunity to be used by God to help women move from victim to victor in Christ, from shamed to redeemed daughter of God. Though short, this book addresses the complexities involved and is filled with plenty of relevant Scripture-providing a resource that I know I will return to time and again as I care for women.

In the United States, one in five women will be raped. I'm sickened even typing that horrific statistic. Biblical counselor, Anne Dryburgh, has written this book specifically to equip Christian women who are seeking to help female victims of rape. Anne combines thorough, current, relevant research, personal compassion, and biblical wisdom as she journeys with helpers through the relational and biblical process for bringing compassionate care and gospel hope to women who have experienced the horrors of sexual assault.

Written with an unusual and refreshing depth of understanding, compassion, and biblical wisdom, this book is a gift to Christian women (and men), counselors, and church leaders. Anne Dryburgh effectively dispels myths surrounding rape, shows how the Bible honestly addresses this unspeakable form of violence, and gives the reader an important understanding of its life-altering effects. Best of all, the author gives spiritual friends an example of how to bring gospel hope and help to victims by directing them to the stabilizing character of God and the newfound freedom and identity found in Jesus Christ alone.
