Reviews for Scars Across Humanity: Understanding and Overcoming Violence Against Women
Elaine Storkey is extremely well respected. This is a hugely important book. Violence against women is a shocking blight, perpetrated on occasion by some in church life. I particularly applaud Storkey's work in 2010 establishing the campaigning group, 'Restored'. This title deserves to be widely stocked and widely read.
