Overview

Since 2018, the Called to Peace book and Workbook have helped thousands of women worldwide find peace and healing after destructive relationships. This revised version of the Called to Peace Workbook includes a version of Called to Peace: A Survivor's Guide to Finding Peace and Healing After Domestic Abuse. It may be used for individual study, counseling sessions, or support group settings. Both books have been updated and expanded to accommodate the requests of former support group participants to speak to current issues relating to abuse and to more fully address issues like spiritual abuse and trauma. While Joy wrote the original books specifically for survivors of domestic abuse and those who help them, survivors of other types of trauma have found the resources helpful in their healing journeys as well, including those who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and spiritual abuse. These issues severely impact victims physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They lose sight of God's good character and carry shame that only He can overcome through His love and truth. The Called to Peace Workbook illuminates His heart for the oppressed and His path to healing in a powerful and life-changing way. If you or someone you love is in an abusive relationship, this book is the perfect resource.

""I love that Joy zeroes in on what she needed to do to break free from her abuser's lies and manipulation as well as her own misapplied spiritual beliefs. This book doesn't just explain and define abusive tactics, the accompanying workbook helps the victim heal by learning to walk in truth and embrace her God-given identity so that she grows to be a God-centered woman instead of a man or marriage-centered woman."" - Leslie Vernick, MSW, counselor, relationship coach, speaker, author of 7 books the Emotionally Destructive Relationship and Emotionally Destructive Marriage ""I'm so thankful for the way she has listened to those impacted by trauma and has responded with updates to the workbook in this new edition.
