Product Description

You need to get to safety. Now.

When the abuse starts, that's when you know enough is enough. It's time to find a haven somewhere else. There will be a chance down the road to assess where your marriage is headed in the long term. No one is saying divorce is the inevitable outcome. God can transform anyone.

But He doesn't promise to do that. People choose to persist in sin. And that's why it's imperative for you to leave . . . so you can think clearly, take stock of the situation, and most of all, protect yourself and those whom you love.

Dr. David Clarke, a licensed psychologist specializing in marital therapy for more than 30 years, wants to help you make the break from your abusive relationship. Whether or not divorce is on the horizon is beside the point. You need to get out so you can sort it out.

Dr. Clarke understands this journey won't be easy. That's why he provides a step-by-step plan that includes practical advice as well as biblical guidance. But leave you must, because abuse is a sin that doesn't come from above. Let this book help you get away from your abuser so you can give your marriage the best chance to succeed. Because only with some distance will you be able to see what your loving, ever-faithful God has in store for you.

Praise for Enough Is Enough

David has given us a biblically based, psychologically informed, thoroughly researched, practical resource. It is written with wisdom, grace, and a wealth of both clinical and practical experience. This valuable resource provides more than just good information. It will help you reframe how you view your situation, and then give you practical ways to respond rather than merely react. It brings both clarity and comfort in ways that will lead to both healing and hope. I have over fifteen books in my personal library that address abuse, and this is the one that I will recommend.

In my counseling practice, I recurrently recommend Enough Is Enough and frequently receive responses thanking me for doing so. Enough Is Enough not only empowers abuse victims to put a stop to their abuse, it also provides a clear-cut, instructional path to stopping the abuse. Dr. Clarke's plan of freedom is jam-packed with specific details and directives that pave the way for an abuse-free life. I have witnessed God perform many healing miracles through the information in Enough Is Enough. It is a must-read for anyone trapped in an abusive relationship.

Dr. David E. Clarke has done it again! With a direct, blunt, no-nonsense, yet godly style, Dr. David speaks directly to people in abusive relationships who are seeking answers. He does not mince words, and frankly, if you are in an abusive relationship, you don't need someone who will. I love how Dr. David explains the psychology of why people stay in abusive relationships, then provides step-by-step, biblically sound guidance on how to save yourself. I also love that the book is not a "how to divorce your abuser" book. The book gives guidance, yet it offers grace, for those who will accept it. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for those who are in abusive relationships, as well as those who suspect someone they know is in an abusive relationship. I also recommend this book for anyone in a relationship as a way to course correct and self-check. Too many times people offer a myopic view of issues, as they cling either to a purely spiritual or a purely secular perspective. The fact that Dr. David can comfortable meld the two is a treat and offers unimaginable benefits to readers of all Dr. David's works!
—REV. KEN J. GORDON JR., PHD
Award-winning author

Enough Is Enough will help you see clearly, act decisively and regain your dignity. Dr. Clarke's no-nonsense approach gives you the best chance to change your situation and save your marriage. It helped save ours!
