For more than 1 million women in the United States, abuse--whether emotional or physical--is a way of life. Every day these women put on invisible chains. Breaking Invisible Chains, written specifically for women by women, is an honest, personal, and encouraging message of hope and illumination. Written by three survivors, the personal stories these women share will help you realize if you are in an abusive relationship or one that is just normal. A professional therapist includes insight to specific abuse situations addressed while each chapter contains a strong scriptural emphasis. The role of forgiveness is stressed throughout the book. If it turns out your relationship is not normal, realistic advice on how to handle the ongoing dynamics after the relationship ends is also included.
