Home Should Be Safe – Hope and Help for Domestic Violence Victims will help both victims who believe they have no way to escape as well as those who would like to help and need both understanding of the dynamics of abuse as well as knowledge of the resources available. Mina Raulston weaves her personal experience with a solid understanding of the psychology behind abuse while providing hope and help to victims and resources to those who want to help. Mina herself is a testimony that escape is possible.

 This is an absolute must-read for every person, male AND female, especially in the body of Christ. For decades we have shied away from domestic violence, particularly in the church. I’m sure it was mostly due to the fact that we didn’t know what to do about it. We have just recently learned that there truly IS A WAY OUT!  Even I, sitting on the advisory board of an Emergency Shelter for women and children, thought I was fairly knowledgeable about domestic violence. However, I must admit I was astonished and horrified at what I learned through reading this book. I was also thrilled, as you will be also, to learn there is help and hope! Mina brings you face to face with the attacks, as well as the mind of the attacker. She exposes the physical as well as psychological methods used to keep the victim in chains. But after a life altering encounter with God and several amazing and gripping visions, she escaped (physically and emotionally) by the hands of the One who loves her most, Jesus Christ, Himself!

"I have had the honor of serving as editor of Mina Raulston's book "Home Should be Safe." It is an excellent resource for anyone who is experiencing or knows someone who is experiencing domestic violence or abuse of any kind. It is thoughtful, Godly, well-researched, and well-written. As a former victim of abuse, Mina writes about this topic with compassion and conviction. I have also had the honor of hearing Mina speak on this topic, and can endorse her as a speaker as well. At the meeting I attended, Mina's speech was riveting and the audience was totally absorbed and interested in the information she conveyed. The scope and effects of abuse are not widely known and Mina does an excellent job explaining what abuse is, and how a person can help someone who has been abused. I highly recommend the book, as well as Mina as a writer and speaker.” December 28, 2009
