Book Description from Amazon.com
"Infertility, divorce, domestic violence, eating disorders...all
have become part of a day's work for women and men in ministry to
women. Yet, most are not prepared for this aspect of ministering to
women in real pain over real issues.
Designed to give leaders
and care givers greater understanding, insights for shepherding, and
referral resources, Shepherding Women in Pain is a compilation
from contributors who have expertise and experience with women on the
given issue. For examples Stacey Womack, founder and Executive Director
of Abuse Recovery Ministry & Services wrote the chapter on domestic
violence and Kimberley Davidson, founder of Olive Branch Outreach,
authored the chapter discussing eating disorders.
The reader will be provided concise, practical, and grace-infused information designed to help women deal constructively with the trauma of their life experiences. This book will serve as a key resource – read and re-read often – to those who serve women in pain."
