Rid of My Disgrace is a theologically robust and compassionate resource to help victims of sexual assault move from brokenness to healing. The statistics are jarring - one in four women and one in six men have been sexually assaulted. While these numbers are sobering, they cannot begin to speak to the darkness and grief experienced by the victims. The church needs compassionate and wise resources to care for those living in the wake of this evil.

Other books attempt to address the journey from shame to healing for victims of sexual abuse, but few are from a Christian perspective and written for both child and adult victims. In Rid of My Disgrace, a couple experienced in counseling and care for victims of sexual assault present the gospel in its power to heal the broken and restore the disgraced.

Justin and Lindsey Holcomb begin by providing a clear definition of sexual assault and outlining a biblical approach for moving from destruction to redemption. The book applies a theology of redemption to the grief, shame, and sense of defilement that victims experience. While primarily written for victims, Rid of My Disgrace can also equip pastors, ministry staff, and others to respond compassionately to those who have been assaulted.

The book is part of a larger series, offering a theologically robust and compassionate resource to support victims on their journey from brokenness to healing. By presenting the gospel's power to heal and restore, the Holcombs provide a much-needed perspective for the church to care for those affected by the darkness of sexual assault.

In a world where these atrocities are all too common, Rid of My Disgrace stands as a beacon of hope, guiding victims towards redemption and restoration. It is a vital resource for the church, equipping leaders and laypeople alike to respond with the love and grace that can only come from the transformative power of the gospel.
