The Battered Preacher's Wife, a true story of survival and triumph. Dr. Avril
Wiggins weaves a gripping tale of intrigue and inspiration as she recounts
her experience of being trapped in a hopeless marriage with an abusive Pentecostal
preacher. Wife battery is taboo in the church, where most clergy encourage
women to keep the family together and endure the suffering. The Battered
Preacher's Wife breaks through the silence and sheds light on a serious problem
faced by countless women across the nation. Yes, there is hope-even for the wife
of a preacher!
