Breaking the Silence: The Journey from Rape to Redemption

by Lenita Reeves

Our church workers, leaders, and members carry silent wounds from the atrocity of rape. According to RAINN, a national sexual abuse network, rape affects one in six women and one in thirty-three men, and 60% of all sexual assaults are never reported to the police. Where are the Biblical answers that will provide healing in this area? You will find them in Breaking the Silence. With fresh revelation, straightforward language, and supernatural insight, Breaking the Silence equips both pastor and member alike and brings healing to this painful experience. Every Christian who has been affected by rape needs this book, as do the pastors and leaders who seek to facilitate their total healing. Every friend or family member of someone who has been raped needs this book. Every Christian rape counselor needs this book. You need this book. Begin the journey today and help break rape's silence.
