Kristin Lassen gives a positive assessment of this book, which is a non-technical reframing of material from Phil Payne’s earlier book, Man and Woman, One in Christ (Zondervan Academic, 2009).

Ron Clark offers a passionate and personally informed response to the issue of male-to-female violence. Drawing on his pastoral care efforts and experience of working with a variety of couples coming out of violent relationships, a reader can tell that he deeply cares about the issue at hand and that his personal reflections are well thought out. Overall, this book is easily accessible to a lay audience but may not be for those expecting rigorous theological exegesis or expansive social science research.
