Dear Jack: A Letter to an Abusive Husband
Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile powerfully communicates the churches stand against abuse of women in Dear Jack: A Letter to an Abusive Husband. Among his strong and right words: “As a pastor, I want to lovingly communicate to you two messages. First, stop abusing Jill. As you know, our church family takes a “zero tolerance” approach to marital abuse. Your hands were not made for battering your wife, but for beautifying her. It’s never permissible under any circumstance for you to raise your hand toward your wife in anger or abuse or in any way other than to caress her in love or help her in strength. Never. Under any circumstance.”
