Trade ReviewElaine Storkey is extremely well respected. This is a hugely important book. Violence against women is a shocking blight, perpetrated on occasion by some in church life. I particularly applaud Storkey's work in 2010 establishing the campaigning group, 'Restored'. This title deserves to be widely stocked and widely read. -- Eddie Olliffe * Together Magazine *

Scars Across Humanity is a powerful thrust in the direction of justice and inequality. By a long shot, this the most important book I’ve read in the past year – maybe my lifetime. Please read this book, and tell others to read it too. -- Tristan Sherwin * tristansherwin.wordpress.com *
‘This is a compelling and courageous book which I believe every Christian should read.

This book made me angry, upset, uncomfortable, and at some points feel physically ill. It informed me on issues I didn’t even know existed. It is powerful and it is truth and I believe that everyone should read it. -- Adair * Blog: Just Love St. Andrews *
