Heather doesn't know what to do when Ann tells her friend about the years of sexual abuse she has suffered.* ??Do you know any students like Ann who have been abused by people they should have been able to trust?* What can you say or do to help?* What do they need most right now?

??Perhaps more than any time in their lives they need a 17:17 friend - "A friend is always a friend, and relatives are born to share our troubles" (Proverbs. 17:17 CEV).???Through the aid of a heart breaking true-to-life story, Josh and Ed, offer biblical insights and practical instruction on what your friends can do to resolve past sexual abuse in their lives.??But more importantly, you will discover how to become a true source of encouragement and support to them during their struggle. This book is designed for you to read %26#64257;rst and then give to others.??And if you are that person who is facing abuse, you will learn how to face the issues of false guilt, shame and helplessness and discover your self worth once more.
