Book excerpt: Where can women find a way out of the confusion, shame, and silent suffering from domestic abuse? Women need support while making choices about their safety and the safety of their children. With the Oasis Bible Study, many women have appreciated Christian support and fellowship while walking through difficult decisions and beliefs about separation and divorce. Author and Founder of Living Waters of Hope, Diane Schnickels understands that some people within the faith community do NOT realize the deceptive dynamics of domestic abuse, and unintentionally respond in hurtful ways. Some Christians don't recognize the risks of the abuse that goes on behind closed doors, because it's opposite of what you would expect from someone who deceives the church community with his "Sunday best guy" façade.With this study, women can seek the truth about God's design for marriage and sexual intimacy. What do repentance and forgiveness look like in an abusive relationship? In this Book Two of the Oasis Bible Study, essential elements of a healing journey are included. It's important to recognize the patterns and the narcissistic characteristics of abusive husbands. For the past seven years, Diane has shared her heart of compassion and this study with many women who have endured years of pain and suffering from someone they thought they could trust. This study is recommended by participants and leaders in the faith community. These 11 lessons can be done individually, but we highly recommend the online or in-person support groups available with this book.

"I am finding the study to be absolutely phenomenal! I am amazed at your ability to put into words the many emotions and struggles of an individual dealing with the impact of domestic violence."-Pam
