It's heady stuff for a picture book, but it's never too soon for a woman--even a little woman--to know her worth. Denhollander (the first of sex offender Larry Nassar's abuse victims to speak out) presents a poetic discourse that resonates beyond its young intended audience. Her simple rhyming couplets speak to the power of image and the messages that shape how we become who we are. The eloquence comes not from the words or phrasing as much as the message as well as the passion. Denhollander, an attorney, a mother, and a former gymnast-turned-coach for a time, delivers stanzas infused with sweet sentimentality as well as fiery fierceness. New artist Huff provides lovely, expressive illustrations depicting girls of many racial presentations in various stages of self-discovery and acceptance. The figures are smiling and cartoonlike, with oversized, round heads and sturdy bodies--though none could be called fat, none exhibits twiglike proportions. Denhollander's book is unapologetically Christian in approach, with more than one reference to \"Him\" or a creation by a greater power. With sincerity helping to mitigate occasionally artless text, this is a worthwhile message for young girls who, in an age of shrinking women's rights, need all the encouragement possible to find their voices and love themselves.

Although news reports and discussions tend to focus on war veterans, abused children, domestic violence victims, and victims of violent crime suffer as well. Using a combination of traditional therapy techniques and alternative treatments such as EMDR, yoga, neurofeedback, and theater, patients can regain control of their bodies and rewire their brains so that they can rebuild their lives.

Thirty years ago, with great courage and vision, Dan Allender brought Christians to the table to acknowledge, understand, and help victims heal from their experience of the evil of sexual abuse. His work continues to help victims and those who love them to honestly acknowledge their abuse, understand the unique challenge of repentance for victims of abuse, and learn to love boldly in defiance of their trauma. Ultimately Dan offers the bold assurance to sexual abuse victims that even they can find their way to joy and hope in the comforting embrace of a good God. The Wounded Heart has sold over 400,000 copies and has been the first book family, friends, counselors, pastors, and victims have turned to in search of Christian answers to the calamity of sexual abuse. With a new introduction reflecting on the ongoing importance of the book, and a companion workbook for personal and group recovery, The Wounded Heart continues to offer an urgently needed word of grace in a world ravaged by sexual abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wounded Heart\u003c\/i\u003e is outstanding!

Raised in Kalamazoo, Mich., Denhollander was homeschooled, deeply religious, and aspired to become a lawyer. \"Gangly\" and 5'6,\" she didn't fit the profile of a gymnast but was placed on her gym's competitive team; after sustaining a lower-back injury at age 15, she was sent to Nassar, who would--under the guise of treatment, without gloves, and without consent--vaginally penetrate her with his fingers. She reported the abuse to her coaches, but, she writes, they didn't believe her; nearly 16 years later when another gymnast's story of abuse by a coach broke, Denhollander decided to speak out again, eventually leading to Nassar's indictment and conviction. Denhollander reveals her anguish and emotional pain, her feelings of helplessness (\"How do I even try to heal from something, when I don't even know what that 'something' is?\"). Denhollander's brave and detailed memoir serves as a clear-eyed look into a disturbing case of sexual abuse that gained national attention.--\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarred Review.\u003c\/b\u003e Denhollander, now an attorney and activist, was the first to share her story publicly when the 2016 USA gymnastics sexual abuse scandal broke. Her authorial debut reveals how she was groomed and abused as a young gymnast, in plain view of an unsuspecting parent, and how she and other survivors brought serial molester Larry Nassar to justice. Reaching beyond her own narrative, Denhollander explores why victims of sexual assault often stay silent; she also describes Nassar's trial in detail and examines the safety nets that failed to protect her and hundreds of his other victims. Her memoir is straightforward and deeply honest about the betrayal she endured yet hopeful for growing awareness and healing. Drawing on her law background and faith-based strength, the former gymnast advocates for positive action against abuse, with her own experiences as the inspirational framework. \u003cb\u003eVERDICT: \u003c\/b\u003eEssential for sports fans and all readers concerned with the ongoing, widespread challenges of abuse and accountability.

Her intelligent reflections reveal a woman of faith who chose to sacrifice her privacy and to seek justice with love and determination that no child face the same pain. Separating her own future happiness and healing from the outcome of the trial, she presents peace as possible. Hers is a compelling viewpoint that isn't imposed as a solution for all survivors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso an attorney, Denhollander elucidates the steps she took to bring her case to MSU police. From the first suspicion that Nassar's treatments were anything but medical to his sentencing, the cruel realities of her survival thread with advocacy and everyday motherhood.

I couldn't argue with scripture, it was like arguing with God.' The term 'spiritual abuse' is widely used across the Christian community. But what is it? Sometimes spiritual abuse involves leaders misusing their position, but ministers can also be the victims. Common factors include control through misuse of scripture, claims to divine authority, pressure to conform, and enforced accountability. Individuals may be isolated, and compelled to secrecy and silence. Drawing on a combination of extensive research, individual testimonies, and years of hands-on experience, Lisa Oakley and Justin Humphreys describe clearly the nature of spiritual abuse, and the best ways of countering it. Recovery is possible. But - how do we prevent spiritual abuse in the first place? What can leaders do to create safer places? Is there a link between theological ideas and harmful behaviours?

It doesn't work, and parents are left feeling helpless and hopeless. DIVORCE POISON instead offers a blueprint for effective response.

She appends 50-state charts on such matters as residency requirements, court and court-related websites, and custody modification statures.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEithne O'Leyne Editor, ProtoView\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBasics of Divorce \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBasics of Child Custody \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBasics of Child Support \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen You Decide to Divorce: The First Month \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvoiding Custody or Support Trial: Alternatives to Court \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDealing With the Court: Paperwork and Court Hearings \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGoing to Trial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCustody Orders: Living With, Enforcing, and Changing Them \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChild Support Orders: Living With, Enforcing, and Changing Them \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorst Case Scenarios: Kidnapping, Abuse, and Interferences With Custody \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCustody and Support in Military Families \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe Law: How to Work With a Lawyer and Do Your Own Legal Research Index\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Doskow\u003c\/b\u003e is a practicing attorney and mediator who has worked with families in the Bay Area for more than 22 years.

Co-workers, clients, even bosses are behaving in narcissistic or bullying ways, choosing targets and then placing blame on them, treating them with disdain, or otherwise acting in aggressive, inappropriate ways. Some go so far as to spread damaging rumors, harass, or directly sabotage their targets, among other extreme behaviors. These are not people who are just having an occasional bad day; these are people who display a repeated pattern of high-conflict behavior. And they aren't just difficult; they are the most difficult of people. Some have true personality disorders, while others have only some traits of these disorders. Either way, they can make your life at work stressful, frustrating, and extremely challenging. The good news is that their behavior is not about you--it's about them. What's more, you can learn strategies and techniques to deal with them more effectively at work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on Bill Eddy's high-conflict personality theory, he and co-author, L. Georgi DiStefano, expertly define the problem so you can recognize potential high-conflict people (HCPs) in your own work life. They describe the key characteristics of HCPs and the typical behavior patterns of five main types of high-conflict personalities. Then they walk you through their proactive approach for minimizing conflict and keeping interactions with HCPs as peaceful as possible. You'll learn about--and see examples of--how to use a simple, proven four-step method to help calm HCPs, analyze your options, respond to hostility, and set limits on extreme behavior. While you cannot ultimately change someone else's personality, you can adapt your own behavior and respond to the person in different ways that make things better at work for yourself, the high-conflict person, and your organization.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"This book belongs in every leader's library.
