Book excerpt: Bev Gilliard writes in the field of Christian intimate literature and poetry that are transformational, revelatory, provocative, convicting, bold; eloquent, blunt, and transparently intense. This book is like none other in that it offers a close look at the actual personal experiences of an individual impacted by violence. "Battered, Beaten, Bruise, but not Broken" is a reminder that family violence is not a private matter and it pushes readers to ask tough questions about not only the destructive nature of family violence, child sexual assault, and suicide, but also about the toxicity of male privilege, and the dangerous effects of rape culture. It also pushes readers to examine themselves and what role we play in perpetuating violence against women and children by keeping silence, not getting educated on the subject, and not participating through our donations to causes or volunteering to end the violence. Bev has crafted a work that invites readers to stand up for what is right and challenges men to do better in their relationships, and on a whole in speaking out about violence. We are stronger together, and together we can speak out and stop the violence.
