Survivor's Guide to Healing from Sexual Assault

Victims of sexual assault face a grim reality. Statistics reveal that one in four women and one in six men are or will be victims of sexual assault in their lifetime. However, these sobering figures fail to capture the profound darkness and grief experienced by these victims. Sexual assault inflicts physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual pain, leaving victims in dire need of clear help, hope, and healing.

In "Rid of My Disgrace," a couple experienced in counseling victims of sexual assault explains how the grace of God can heal the broken and restore the disgraced. Authors Justin and Lindsey Holcomb outline a compassionate approach for guiding victims from destruction to redemption. Avoiding simplistic platitudes and shallow theology, the book combines biblical and theological depth with up-to-date research, making it a valuable resource.

This book is primarily written for those who have been assaulted, whether as children or adults. However, it also equips family, friends, pastors, and others with the tools to care for victims in a manner that is both compassionate and informed. By addressing the complex and multifaceted nature of sexual assault, the authors provide a comprehensive guide to understanding the trauma experienced by victims and the path towards healing and restoration.

"Rid of My Disgrace" is part of the Re:Lit series, a collection of resources designed to address pressing issues from a biblical perspective. The Holcombs, having extensive experience in counseling and supporting victims of sexual assault, bring a wealth of expertise and empathy to this essential work.

Through a combination of biblical insights, psychological research, and practical advice, the book equips readers with the knowledge and understanding necessary to provide meaningful support and care for those who have endured the devastating consequences of sexual assault. By shedding light on this often-overlooked trauma, the authors aim to foster a greater understanding and compassion within the Christian community and beyond.

Ultimately, "Rid of My Disgrace" serves as a beacon of hope, guiding victims towards the healing power of God's grace and the restoration of their dignity. It is a crucial resource for those seeking to support and empower survivors, offering a path forward from the darkness of sexual assault to the light of redemption.
