Abuse: Finding Hope in Christ (Gospel for Real Life)

“The Gospel isn’t just an ethereal idea. It’s not a philosophy and it’s not static. It moves and shapes and transforms the lives of those who by God’s grace alone put their faith in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. I am grateful for ABC’s work of letting the Gospel bear it’s weight on these real life sorrows and pains.”– Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church

“An invaluable resource that reflects the profound realities of the gospel in caring for those impacted by abuse. This booklet captures the essence of how God redeems us in the midst of our suffering. A must read for everyone in the church.”– Robert K. Cheong, Pastor of Care and Counseling Sojourn Community Church, Louisville, KY

“Powerful. Christ–centered. Hopeful. All this, plus much more, you’ll find in this short booklet. See the riches of Psalm 22 as it is carefully and skillfully applied to life of a couple struggling with the consequences of past abuse.”– Deepak Reju, Associate Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC

“Whenever you minister to a couple who is struggling with past abuse, give them a copy of Abuse.

“With the heart of a pastor, John Henderson helps us to see how Scripture really does make a difference in life’s most difficult hurts, pains and sorrows. As John tells the story of couple facing the painful consequences of past abuse, we see him weave the words of Psalm 22 into their life story. Much more than a remarkable story, this booklet shows how we have a remarkable Savior.

“Can the Bible really make a difference? John Henderson thinks it can. With the heart of a pastor, John recounts a couple’s remarkable turn away from the painful consequences of past abuse and their own marital selfishness. As he walks Claude and Patricia through the riches of Psalm 22, you see their hearts turn back to glories of their Savior. My hope in power of God’s Word was reaffirmed through this amazing story.
