Breaking the Cycle pulls back the curtain on the hidden reality of domestic violence, revealing its impact where we least expect it.

This book uncovers the painful cycle that binds victims, and the subtle ways abuse takes root. We might wonder how such harm could exist in our faith community, or what Christ-like support it demands. With a Scriptural lens and the use of heartfelt stories, the authors guide readers to recognize abuse, respond with compassion and to set at liberty the oppressed. Through reflections and practical guidance, Breaking the Cycle is hopeful and empowers readers to break free from silence and be a source of light in the face of darkness.

Recognize, prevent, and respond to abuse.
