The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse by Ellen Bass

4.0

This is a good book for any survivor of abuse. My only issue with it is that it is highly psychological. I was searching for a book to use for a group of abused women and it was the best that I found. I wish that it didn't leave the church with a bad taste in their mouths. I wish that they would have collaborated with another woman was in a church tradition and I would have loved to see what God added to the psychological spin of their healing. God is the healer, so wouldn't it be interesting to have God and psychology on the same side instead of opposite sides?
Besides the blatant "God is bad" ideals, I found this book to be helpful and would definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking to heal from sexual abuse.
