Rid of My Disgrace: Hope and Healing for Victims of Sexual Assault by Justin S. Holcomb, Lindsey A. Holcomb
3.0
Read for review for church resource area. The first 3 chapters were incredibly difficult to read and the stories before each chapter in the second section was also difficult to stomach. However, great book and the last section "Grace Applied" does an excellent job of surveying the theology of grace in both Old and New Testaments.
From a "technical" standpoint, it seemed like this was two different books by how it was broken down. The first two sections were very emotive and written to the reader under the assumption that they had been sexually assaulted, while the third section was very theological and read like a "Biblical Theology of Sexuality & Grace". However, none of this technical critique took away from the overall feeling I walked away with from the book.
