Churches That Abuse - “This book warns and informs readers about the fringe churches and groups that operate with abusive styles, creating emotional and spiritual perils for their adherents.”
Recovering from Churches That Abuse – “This book is a healing balm for those who have been spiritually abused. This excellent SHORT book brings home poignantly the plight of the vulnerable spirit who is searching for answers in a religious system where members find value and spiritual worth based on their own works. Clear and concise, the author provides evaluative questions and practical advice for bringing the seeker back to God’s grace.”
Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse, The: Recognizing and Escaping Spiritual Manipulation and False Spiritual Authority Within the Church – “In a breakthrough book first published in 1991, the authors address the dynamics in churches that can ensnare people in legalism, guilt, and begrudging service, keeping them from the grace and joy of God’s kingdom.Written for both those who feel abused and those who may be causing it, The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse shows how people get hooked into abusive systems, the impact of controlling leadership on a congregation, and how the abused believer can find rest and recovery.”
Hi Stacy.
Glad to find your site and that you are addressing the issue of spiritual abuse. You might be interested in my doctoral research on this topic.
My book is entitled: Spiritual Abuse Recovery.
My website is: http://www.ChurchExiters.com.
Wondering if you could post about my book in your Book Resources? Thanks a bunch. Also a link to my website, if you have a place to do that as well.
All the best!
