Powerless. Broken. Unlovable. Hopeless. These words express how a survivor of abuse feels. Those traumatized by abuse are severely impacted by what they see and experience. Their mind remembers the images, feels the emotions and pain, and hears what was said, shouted, or screamed. And sadly, many, if not most, feel stuck in a relentless cycle – as if there is no escape. Whether the abuse was physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, or spiritual, God’s Word has answers. The pain of your past need not determine the direction of your future.

The five Keys for Living topics in Volume 1 of The Care and Counsel Library include:

• Abuse Recovery: From Surviving to Thriving
• Bullying: Bullied – No More!
• Domestic Abuse: There’s No Excuse for Abuse!
• Spiritual Abuse: Religion at Its Worst
• Verbal & Emotional Abuse: Victory Over the Power of Abuse

THE VALUE OF BIBLICAL COUNSEL

The more you know God’s Word, the more you will know God’s will. If someone comes to you with a problem, the greater your knowledge and dependence on the Word of God, the wiser your care and counsel will be. Each volume of The Care and Counsel Library is filled with Bible verses with practical application to personally help you and assist you in giving wise counsel to others.

As a Christian giving or receiving counsel, you have the awesome resource of the presence of Christ living in you, the power of Christ working through you, and the character of Christ reflected by you. May God help you and equip you to help others as you seek His wisdom and truth for today.
