About this title

Synopsis

In Wounded by Words, the authors explore how emotional abusers isolate, disorient, and indoctrinate their victims and how their unkind words leave lasting scars. Sharing personal stories of people from the Bible and from contemporary life who have suffered verbal abuse, the authors offer tested, scriptural advice for breaking the cycle. Readers will learn how to recognize the signs of verbal or emotional abuse, change abusive patterns, and rediscover hope.

Susan has published 28 books, and Karen has had many articles and stories published in books and magazines. Jeenie, as a licensed marriage and family therapist for 20 years, has counseled many verbally abused patients. She has published five books, one of which was a Gold Medallion finalist.
