Walking Out of Spiritual Abuse

This book can help you discern whether or not you are in a spiritually abusive situation, to what degree, why and how to get out. It can be used by God to cleanse out the wounds, forgive and begin the process of healing...and to not repeat the same mistakes.

This was a wonderful book. My husband and I were highly encouraged to read this book by friends as well as elders of another church we went to for help. We had thought we were going crazy. We couldn't believe that our pastor and friend as well as other leaders in our church were lying to us, manipulating us, and teaching us scripture out of context to control us. They would continually use the scriptures refering to 'obey and submit to your leaders', as well as other scriptures manipulating people for money and justifying their own lack of integrity. This book clearly stated the facts and as we read through it, helped us process what was happening to us, and what surely was to come as we began to walk out of that abusive situation. It seemed that every time the Lord directed me to read the next part, it was exactly what was needed at that time. This book has helped over 100 people I know personally to walk out of an abusive church situation. The Lord is faithful, and He will lead your steps. This is a must read for anyone attending church today, especially in the charismatic, non-denominationally affiliated church. Pastors and leaders need to read this as well so that they can minister to those who have been wounded, and so that they can avoid falling into traps and mindsets that they, too, should be treating their congregations in abusive ways.
