Sexual Abuse & The Gospel of Grace

According to a host of recent indicators, sexual assault is on the rise, and unfortunately it appears to be occurring just as frequently inside the church as it is in the outside world.  So how are we to deal with this growing challenge?  More importantly, how are we to apply the gospel of grace to both victims and perpetrators of this type of abuse?  On this program Michael Horton discusses this issue at length with Justin and Lindsey Holcomb, authors of Rid of My Disgrace:  Hope and Healing for Victims of Sexual Assault.
