Description
There are so many questions, emotions, and issues to deal with after leaving an abusive relationship. What do you do after you leave a domestic violence relationship? How do you feel better, love yourself, and avoid the abusive relationship cycle? How do you overcome the guilt or shame that lingers in your heart? What if you aren't sure if you even trust God anymore? Victims start over, often dealing with the lingering effects of trauma, with little or no resources. Recovering from domestic violence is often a lonely endeavor - there is a limited support network and people who have not been victimized themselves often do not understand. Sometimes, victims are left without anyone or anything and no one to talk to about their pain. Drawing from her own experiences, Shelee Long walks with you through some of the hard stuff related to domestic violence and recovery from abuse. She shares with you what she has learned during her twelve years of introspection, questioning God, and working through the trauma associated with abuse. Fierce is written in two parts addressing issues such as the grace, forgiveness, and love God has for you. Fierce includes over 100 devotions on topics that will help you see the love that God has for you. Each devotion includes prompts to help you talk to God, look at your wounds, get in a relationship with Jesus so that he can help you heal. In healing, you will take the first steps towards empowerment, surviving, and thriving to live the abundant life that God has planned for you.
