Hi Anna,
I received a link to your blog through Barbara Roberts (I follow her updates) and loved what you and Jeff Crippen have been writing! I am a psychologist in Arizona and work closely with Mending the Soul (a nonprofit dedicated to educating the church on issues of abuse). You might love the resources available (www.mendingthesoul.org). Thank you for your courage in addressing these issues publicly and strongly. I look forward to your upcoming book – it sounds fantastic!

Dear Roxane,
Thank you for dropping by. I’m so happy you did. I actually do have Mending the Soul listed under “Links” on this blog. I will also add it to the Resource page. Thanks for the suggestion. God bless your work~ Anna

Hi Anna
You might like to consider putting my book on your resources page: ‘Not Under Bondage: Biblical Divorce for Abuse, Adultery and Desertion’. Jeff Crippen has been in touch with me and he’s recommending my book in his forthcoming book. You can check out my work at http://www.notunderbondage.com

Dear Barbara,
Thank you for contacting me. I am Jeff’s co-author. When I worked up the resources on this page, I wasn’t aware of your book. I will be more than happy to add it. Thanks for the suggestion. God bless you~ Anna
