God Is for Me: A Biblical Character Study on God’s Heart for the Sexually Harmed
by Lisa J. Radcliff

Women who have experienced sexual trauma often feel unseen, unheard, and unsure how to engage with Scripture again. God Is for Me is a healing Bible study that reintroduces women to God’s heart for the sexually harmed through the lives of biblical women who were wounded, mistreated, or cast aside-yet were seen, known, and loved by God.

Through nine powerful character studies-including Hagar, Tamar, the unnamed concubine, Bathsheba, the Samaritan woman, and others. Readers will walk through the stories of those who carried trauma and found healing in God’s presence. Each chapter is followed by reflection questions designed for personal growth or group discussion. The study concludes with practical tools and leader resources to guide women’s ministries and trauma recovery groups.

Lisa Radcliff writes from deep faith and gentle wisdom, offering a safe place for women to process pain, ask hard questions, and discover God’s redemptive love. Whether you are on your own healing journey or leading others through theirs, God Is for Me is a restorative guide for reconnecting with Scripture and reclaiming the truth that God is for you.
