Christian Author Brings Hope to Victims of Domestic Violence

Oct. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Orlando, FL – In observance of October’s National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Christian author Judy Brinkley shares her personal chronicle of domestic abuse in the newly released two-part book, A Silent Preacher Speaks Out: A Four-Step Process Out of the Box of Domestic Violence.  

Through biblical principles and empowering passages, Brinkley instructs the reader how to identify the cycle of abuse, understand victimization and the mindset of a batterer, and overcome insurmountable challenges associated with poor self-esteem, trauma, and broken relationships. As an advocate for victims’ rights, the author’s “four-step process” for deliverance from domestic violence offers a package of teachings that display the reality and myths surrounding abuse, while lending a balanced approach that brings forth healing. “Victims of domestic violence can break free and be triumphant,” notes Brinkley. “Anyone can transform through faith.”

In A Silent Preacher Speaks Out: A Four-Step Process Out of the Box of Domestic Violence, Brinkley skillfully adjoins each chapter with real life experiences and scriptural instruction. She inspires her reader to take continuous action through the process: 1) Life In The Box 2) Awareness Has Come 3) Breaking Out, and 4) Free. “My book sheds light on the alarming number of domestic violence cases within the church and speaks to the purpose of exposing darkness and finding steps toward eliminating fear and inspiring hope,” she states.
