Here are web sites and books that have been helpful to me. However, there are many more books and sites available than I
have listed here. To find your state's abuse web site, go to Google.com, or Yahoo.com and type in your state and domestic
violence and press enter. For example, if you live in Idaho, type Idaho domestic violence, and you'll get a list of sites to click
on. Some of those sites will give you the phone number for a shelter near you. On the Idaho site, the 5th listing gives names
and numbers of Idaho shelters.

www.WomanSubmit.com By Jocelyn Andersen. Women Submit! Christians and Domestic Violence is a book that uses
