On the Threshold of Hope: Opening the Door to Healing for Survivors of Sexual Abuse

This book and companion workbook offers hope and healing to men and women who have been traumatized by sexual abuse. Dr. Langberg’s insights and the quotations from many survivors assure readers that they are not alone and that Christ, the Redeemer, can heal their deep wounds. Through stories, Scripture, questions, and encouragement, Dr. Langberg walks with survivors on the road to healing through Christ’s love and power.
The week prior to a new session, we will offer an informational meeting to learn more.
