The figures are shocking: 40% of American women and nearly a quarter of American men have been sexually assaulted. While #MeToo stories and the survivors who shared them have helped combat sexual harassment in the workplace, improved police interventions, and resulted in high-profile convictions, the public has only just begun to reckon with the impact sexual assault has on survivors. The ongoing silence points to the still-taboo intersection of two subjects: sexual assault and sexuality. Sex After Sexual Assault explores this crossroads through the lens of survivors' own stories.

This book is addressed directly to women experiencing domestic abuse, and to those who seek to support them, including pastoral leaders, friends, and support organizations. It debunks the myths—perpetuated by some abusers and, unwittingly, by many churches—which prevent women from getting out of harm’s way. It helps them realize that the Bible does not belong to their abuser but is a text of liberation. Written with careful attention to pastoral issues, it closely examines and clearly explains the relevant scriptural texts.

Over 100 Non-Fictional Sexual Abuse experiences are documented in this powerful enlightening book.

The rapists--from every walk of life--vary from the “well respected church” minister to the “well adjusted” neighbor. It reveals how an experience like this can become the root or other problems when left unresolved. Most victims don't realize the connection.

Everest, will have long-reaching effects on your life, relationships, and decision-making. Stop the fog of abuse today.
