"A Gift to the Church" Debilitated and Diminished - What Others are Saying

Debilitated and Diminished..What others are saying

Dr. Dryburgh has given a gift to the body of Christ that will produce fruit beyond what she can possibly imagine. Oddly enough the author has written a book that counselor, perpetrator and victim can benefit from by crafting a position on emotional abuse that paints a picture of what normal is.

She helps us understand the dynamic of the control behind the abuse, and then carefully gives instructions to address this dynamic.
There is no simple fix, but accurately understanding the problem and walking through it rather than sweeping it under the rug or blaming the victim is what gives hope and encouragement. For the abused, she describes the biblical resources to grow spiritually and respond biblically in the midst of these difficult circumsta…
