A Labor of Love for the Forgotten Ones

Brent & Diane have worked for nearly a decade to create this masterpiece of theological coherence, pastoral sensitivity, and real-life accounts. It is painful, difficult to sit with, but an honest account of the abuse and abandonment many within the Church live with daily. Rooted in scripture and utilizing the best of Christian resources in theology, psychology, and ethics, this book is a necessity for any pastor or professor who minister to people living on “the back side”. For all who have lived in shame and guilt for what others have done to you, here is a message of hope. Thanks be to God.
