I wrote this book for every woman who has struggled with the idea of leaving an abusive marriage for fear of being disobedient or disappointing God.
Too many of us suffer silently for years, paralyzed by fear and despair. Sometimes, we don’t even know we are in an abusive relationship or we don’t realize we can break free. It’s time to break the silence on emotional abuse and psychological violence within Christian marriage and, it’s time to challenge the church collectively on how to approach this subject.
Available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats and will soon be available in Spanish.
I’m so excited you’re here! If you haven’t yet purchased your copy of Restoring the Years the Locusts Have Eaten, I hope you will (click here to purchase) because it has brought healing to so many women! The feedback from men has also been fantastic as they share how it gave them insight and a deeper understanding of what the women they love have experienced in previous relationships.
Escaping an abusive marriage was just the beginning of my journey to freedom. I’ve had to continually assess, identify, and uproot other harmful, ungodly relationships that kept me in sinful thought cycles. perpetuated shame and triggering behaviors and prevented me from fully experiencing the richness of God’s love.
I invite you to experience a new season of healing and freedom, sign up for a guided Bible study which I developed to address the challenges that we face when we have a history of abuse. The 12-week study is designed to help you grow in your knowledge of God’s Word, evaluate your relationships, and set a clear path forward for healthier boundaries – all rooted in Biblical truth.

Biblical Truths About Abuse
What happens to the Christian woman who loves Jesus with all her heart, who desperately wants to live a Godly life but finds herself in an abusive marriage?
Abuse is far more pervasive in our culture than most people realize. Emotional abuse, in particular, is so insidious that sometimes victims may not recognize it as abuse; they only know they experience perpetual feelings of sadness or overwhelm. The trauma-induced thinking that transpires as a result will continue to haunt us and our future relationships – until we heal.
As Leah Hoppes shares her story of struggling within an abusive Christian marriage, readers will find understanding, validation, and a refreshing exploration of what God’s Word really says about abuse. She effectively dispels commonly misused and misquoted scriptures the enemy likes to use (sometimes even through pastors) to keep us complacent and stuck in the abuse cycle. Leah provides the context of such scriptures to present the reader with a deeper Biblical understanding. She highlights the freedom we have in Christ and facilitates the healing process and an actionable plan for restoration. She also shares deep insights for those who minister to women in abusive situations or who have friends or family members living in abuse.
