Caring for Sexually Abused Children: A Handbook for Families & Churches (Paperback)

Kearney, R. Timothy (Author)

Dealing with sexual abuse is painful, especially when it involves a child you care about.

And when it happens in church families, we all bear the pain and need help in knowing how to respond. We ask, should we talk about this or keep it secret to protect those involved? When it becomes known, what people or programs are available to assist? When is therapy needed, and how can the right counselor be found? Does healing really occur, and if so, when and how can we expect it? How do we handle the theological questions the crisis raises? And what should our church be doing?

Dr. Tim Kearney has seen and felt such pain. In this warm and hopeful book he shows how the healing touch of God can come, frequently through God's people in the Christian community.

Here is help with
-- recognizing the symptoms
-- how to handle disclosure
-- understanding the systems that respond to abuse
-- the "Why did God let this happen" question
-- how does God bring healing?
