About this audiobook
This accessibly written audiobook illuminates the good news of healing and liberation the Bible offers survivors of sexual abuse. As an expert in pastoral ministry and a survivor of abuse herself, Elaine Heath handles this sensitive topic with compassion and grace.
The audiobook is illustrated with stories and insights from survivors, and each chapter ends with reflection questions and recommended activities.
Previously published as We Were the Least of These, this repackaged edition includes a new contextualized introduction that explores how the audiobook speaks into a vital cultural conversation (#MeToo).

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a gem. It’s chocked full of so much wisdom, and the author is very authentic. I’ve already given this book out to multiple people, as in the evangelical circles I run in, this book is on a touchy subject. This book, for me, was priceless.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book has been helpful to me personally and professionally. Elaine approaches the scripture in a way that has made me need to return to many scriptural stories and re-read them more closely as I tune into the heart of healing surrounding these issues.
