I did not relish the prospect of either reading or reviewing this book but, having done so, I have no hesitation in recommending it wholeheartedly.
This is quite the best book I have read on the subject of child sexual abuse and is so much more helpful by virtue of being written from a distinctly Christian perspective. It opens up this difficult area in a highly informed but accessible way, bringing together a tremendous breadth of research alongside the case histories of numerous individuals who have become the victims or perpetrators of child sexual abuse, many of them believers.
