"As both a trauma survivor and a comforter to brothers and sisters who have been broken at the hands of those who should have modeled Christ to them, Elaine Heath understands only too well the devastation of sexual abuse. She has earned the right to speak and to be heard, and what a powerful voice she has. For over twenty years, I have been privileged to watch Elaine as she has educated and encouraged the powerful and influential to become humble paracletes, those who 'come alongside' another in their journey of healing. This book is a work of courage, love, and great wisdom. Every counselor, pastor, and caring lay person needs to read We Were the Least of These and use it in his or her ministry."—Morven R. Baker, director, Ashland Women's Counseling Center, Ashland, Ohio

"Join Elaine Heath in reading the Bible from the perspective of survivors of sexual abuse and see texts in ways you have not seen them before. This is not, however, just a book of new insights. Heath skillfully and pastorally weaves together biblical stories, stories of survivors, and reflection questions. It is a healing, liberating, life-giving book."—Mark D. Baker, associate professor of mission and theology, Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary; author, Proclaiming the Scandal of the Cross
