Unveiling the Veil, Breaking the Silence: Domestic Violence in the Church

By T. McIntyre-Scott

Unveiling the Veil, Breaking the Silence speaks to all. It does not have a name or a color; it does not care if you are rich or poor, male or female. It addresses everyone in every walk of life. It speaks to the heart, mind, and soul to help you reevaluate your life and the life of your loved ones. Domestic violence has no respect of a person and the fact that it has infiltrated our churches says so much to humanity as a whole. Please take this journey with me to break the silence!
