Michele's courage to come forward with her and her family's story will save lives。 It's a Christ-centered book on how some people can use the word of God for evil and to hide behind the text that would never defend abuse of a wife， kids， or family。 Michele's courage to come forward with her and her family's story will save lives。 It's a Christ-centered book on how some people can use the word of God for evil and to hide behind the text that would never defend abuse of a wife， kids， or family。 。。。more

Michele's book not only reaches to the abused but to the Church and the family and friends who are unsure what to do to help the abused。 She shines light in what a true marriage should look like and the roles of both the husband and wife。 This book needs to be in every Pastor's hands， every church member， and every Christian marriage counselor。 Michele has already reached so many lives and I know this book will reach so many more。 Michele's book not only reaches to the abused but to the Church and the family and friends who are unsure what to do to help the abused。 She shines light in what a true marriage should look like and the roles of both the husband and wife。 This book needs to be in every Pastor's hands， every church member， and every Christian marriage counselor。 Michele has already reached so many lives and I know this book will reach so many more。 。。。more
