A Perspective on Abuse - Class 9 - Men's Healing Journey

The rape of Tamar by her brother Amnon is one of the toughest stories in Scripture. We will look at the devastating effect abuse has on the entire family as we try to understand why abuse happens and who is and isn’t to blame. Each person in the story made critical choices with far-reaching consequences. We will look at the connection between being a victim and being an offender. We always have a choice about how we respond to what happens to us.

• 2 Samuel 13
