This unique book provides hope, inspiration and a pathway for victims of abuse to become true survivors, the Overcomers and More than Conquerors they were meant to be. It is also an excellent resource for friends, family, ministries and churches who desire to provide effective support for those impacted by domestic abuse. One in three women will be a victim of domestic violence in her lifetime, and this is true even in the church. This interactive guide provides critical insight and direction that is Biblical and practical, written by someone who understands the issue from personal experience. Important information, skills, steps and strategies are explained along with real life examples so that the path to healing and strength is clear. It describes a process of healing from the emotional and spiritual devastation caused by abuse. And it offers help for parents who want to see their children set free from the generational cycle of domestic violence. This book is designed for women to read individually or as the curriculum for a support group. The goal is healing and transformation, emotionally and spiritually, for those who want to leave their victim identity in the past and move forward into a life of healthy relationships and freedom from abuse. There is a way to rise above the chaos, confusion and conflict. If you are a victim, be encouraged that you are not alone, and begin your journey to becoming a true survivor. Jody Cowdin, M.A., M.Ed., began her career as a public school teacher, and also became a therapist for children and their families. She went on to be an Associate Professor at a Christian University and later, the Executive Director of a Christian shelter for battered women and their children. Beyond her professional training, she made the perilous journey from being a victim of domestic violence to true survivor, and now works to empower others to overcome their victimization. She shares important insights and skills along with her personal story as inspiration to encourage other women to believe they too can find hope, healing and freedom from abuse. Jody states regarding domestic abuse, 'If it could happen to me, it could happen to anyone' and her story of overcoming inspires others to believe, 'If she can do it, so can I.' Her first book for children and teens is titled A Kid’s Guide to Understanding Domestic Abuse. Jody can be reached through her website at www.jodycowdin.com.
