Free (nook/Kindle) When A Man You Love Was Abused [Christian Sex Assault Recovery]

[ATDrake]

When a Man You Love Was Abused: A Woman's Guide to Helping Him Overcome Childhood Sexual Molestation by Cecil Murphey is an advice guide for persons helping other persons on their road to recovery, free courtesy of Christian publisher Kregel.

I had a quick skim through the opening chapters of this, and it seems pretty straightforward and not overly religious in tone, so it may be of help also to more secular persons who are struggling with this issue. There's also a supporting website for this book @ www.menshatteringthesilence.blogspot.com

Currently free, probably just for a day @ B&N (also in the UK), Amazon UK (slated to drop in the main store after midnight Pacific Time).

Description
The numbers of males abused in childhood are sometimes listed as low as 5 percent or as high as 33 percent. Though statistics are controversial, no one disputes the fact that childhood abuse is a continuing problem—or that such abuse can have devastating effects on future relationships. For all women who know and love a survivor of sexual assault, best-selling author Cecil Murphey has penned an honest and forthright book about surviving—and thriving—despite past abuses.

Both informative and highly practical, Murphey helps women understand the continuing problems that abuse survivors may encounter, including hurtful memories, issues of self worth, and the need to feel in control. With sensitivity and encouragement, Murphey then explains what women can do to help bring about healing and forgiveness. Written with the empathy that only a true survivor can convey, When a Man You Love Was Abused is a timely piece of advice and encouragement.
