Baker.  aBowen Hills, Qld. :bAustralian Academic Press,c2010.  axv, 271 p. ;bpbk ;c22 cm.  aIncludes bibliographical references pp. 241-271.  a"This book takes a very real look into the lives of Christian women who cope with domestic abuse on a daily basis. It explores their experiences of physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, financial, and spiritual abuse at the hands of their perpetrator husbands who claim themselves to be good Christian. Through extensive interviews combines with academic research, the reader comes face to face with the complexity of issues surrounding such domestic abuse and how counselling can be effective through the encouragement of a variety of religious and non-religious coping strategies. Of interest to victims of domestic abuse, as well as to the members of the clergy, psychologists, and counsellors, this book shows there is a place in the Christian church for women to separate and to be divorced without losing their faith." -- BOOK JACKET.  aIssued also in printed form.  aSystem requirements: Adobe acrobat reader to view PDF file. 0aAbused wivesxCounseling of. 0aChurch work with abused women. 0aMarital violence. 0aHusband abuse. 0aWife abuse.4 zPublisher's home pageuhttp://www.australianacademicpress.com.au
