Description: "In Victim to Survivor, Nancy Werking Poling offers the harrowing and poignant stories of six women who were sexually abused by their pastors and who tell in their own voices what they did about it. In their pain, these victims, survivors, and thrivers dare to call upon the church to be a safe refuge for all people, women and men alike.

And in their personal journeys of healing, they demonstrate a tenacious faith grounded in gospel truth - compelling church leaders to acknowledge this hurtful hypocrisy, advocate for healthy pastoral relationships, and finally call perpetrators to accountability."--BOOK JACKET.
