She's seen slave dungeons in Ghana. Genocide in Rwanda. Systemic sexual abuse in Brazil. Child abuse and domestic violence in the US. After forty years of counseling abuse survivors around the world, Dr. Diane Langberg, a world renowned trauma expert, remains certain that what trauma destroys, Christ can and does restore. This book will convince you, too, of the healing heart of God. But it's not a fast process, instead much patience is required from family, friends, and counselors as they wisely and respectfully help victims unpack their traumatic suffering through talking, tears, and time. And it's not a process that can be separated from the work of God in both a counselor and counselee. Dr. Langberg calls all of those who wish to help sufferers to model Jesus's sacrificial love and care in how they listen, love, and guide. The heart of God is revealed to sufferers as they grow to understand the cross of Christ and how their God came to this earth and experienced such severe suffering that he too is "well-acquainted with grief." The cross of Christ is the lens that transforms and redeems traumatic suffering and its aftermath, not only for the sufferer, but it also transforms those who walk with the suffering. This book will be a great help to anyone who loves, listens to, and seeks to help someone impacted by trauma and abuse. There is no quick fix, but there is the hope for healing through the love of God in Christ.

"Timely and necessary...This book is not only a warning. It is an opportunity. An opportunity to live out the gospel we so passionately proclaim. And it starts with listening."—J.D. Greear, President of the Southern Baptist Convention Time’s Up: Addressing the Unspoken Crisis in the Church We like to think the church is a haven for the hurting. But what happens when it’s not? Author and advocate Mary DeMuth urges the church she loves to rise up and face the evil of sexual abuse and harassment with candor and empathy. Based on research and survivors’ stories, along with fierce fidelity to Scripture, DeMuth unpacks the church’s response to sexual violence and provides a healthy framework for the church to become a haven of healing instead of an institution of judgment. In the throes of the #MeToo movement, our response as Christians is vital. God beckons us to be good Samaritans to those facing trauma and brokenness in the aftermath of abuse and provide safe spaces to heal. DeMuth advocates for a culture of honesty and listening and calls on the church to enter the places where people are hurting. In the circle of that kind of empathetic #WeToo community, the church must become what it’s meant to be—a place of justice and healing for everyone.

Sheltered But Not Protected written by Justin Woodbury and has been published by Gatekeeper Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-08-30 with Family & Relationships categories.
In this moving yet disturbing memoir about finding healing after suffering unthinkable trauma, Justin Woodbury recounts his time growing up in an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church and how its cultlike organization allowed for child abuse. Justin was taught from a young age that if he followed a strict set of morals—such as no TV or worldly music—he would be protected from all the evil in the world. But one spring day in 1998 when he was followed into a barn by sexual predator and faithful church attender Carol Lynn Mathia, he learned this wasn’t true. He didn’t know this family friend had been grooming him for years, and he certainly didn’t know that forty minutes after walking into the barn, he would leave feeling confused, dirty, and guilty. After the incident, Justin became trapped in a twisted sexual relationship that lasted months, and ended with a conspiracy to commit murder. When the church found out, the abuse was covered up and life went on as normal—except it didn’t, not for Justin. For the next twenty years, he experienced PTSD and nightmares, and he carried heavy baggage that almost ended his marriage. Sheltered but Not Protected is the true story of a young boy growing up in the IFB church; the sexual, mental, and emotional abuse he experienced; how he escaped; and his journey to find healing and forgiveness. Book Review 1: "Sheltered But Not Protected is a must-read for everyone who wants to better understand how extreme fundamentalism is a predator's playground, and fatally flawed when it comes to protecting the vulnerable from abuse. Justin Woodbury is candid and entertaining in his retelling of his experience of sexual, spiritual and psychological abuse in a church community where people were seemingly sheltered from "the world" but not protected from true evil." -- Kelly Downing, Survivor Sanctuary Book Review 2: "This book will make you feel angry, uncomfortable, and shocked about how far sexual predators will go to manipulate their victims into believing their actions are justified. I commend Justin for being vulnerable in exposing not just the sexual abuse he endured from members of his congregation but also the psychological, physical, and emotional abuse that haunted him into adulthood. Justin also shares stories of children and teens in his church who were subjected to similar abuse by members of their congregation and by their parents. Sheltered but Not Protected will help people understand that forgiveness is crucial for healing from abuse, but that we must be advocates for those who are victims of abuse." -- C.R. Book Review 3: "The book starts out with an account by Justin's wife, Emily, of what life was like living with a survivor of child sexual abuse. I believe many other girlfriends and wives will find this helpful. It sets the stage so you are warned ahead of time that you will be wading into some deep water as Justin takes over telling his story. This book is one that should be read by anyone concerned about the protection of children. It is an insightful look at the darkness that can thrive in high control groups in the name of "godliness". Sheltered But Not Protected is also a story of the redeeming Grace of God who has given Justin a powerful voice that he is using to help protect others. I highly recommend this book." -- Hope Anne Dueck, Executive Director of A Better Way

The Anatomy of Apostasy is a detailed examination of the "falling away" described in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The Scriptures predicted an abandonment of biblical truth prior to the Rapture of the church. This book describes current events and shows that is a fulfillment of this biblical prophecy. The author, a 5th-generation Baptist pastor passionately warns the church to refrain from the path that leads to this great falling away.

While everyone is delighted by beauty, and the more alive among us are positively fascinated by it, few are explicitly aware that we can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity. Dubay explores the reasons why all of the most eminent physicists of the twentieth century agree that beauty is the primary standard for scientific truth. Likewise, the best of contemporary theologians are also exploring with renewed vigor the aesthetic dimensions of divine revelation. Honest searchers after truth can hardly fail to be impressed that these two disciplines, science and theology, so different in methods, approaches and aims, are yet meeting in this and other surprising and gratifying ways. This book relates these developments to nature, music, academe and our unquenchable human thirst for unending beauty, truth and ecstasy, a thirst quenched only at the summit of contemplative prayer here below, and in the consummation of the beatific vision hereafter.

n many Christian circles this may be a taboo subject-spoken of in hushed tones or behind closed doors. But it is a very real problem that must be brought into the light of Scripture. Abuse in the church takes different forms, but it is alive and active even in "nice" families in our churches. Typically, the abuser is male, usually a husband--and his character is that of a manipulating deceiver! Countless women and children even many faithful pastors--have been abused by these deceivers. Have you, or someone you know, been a victim? Has an abuser: Threatened physical violence if he does not get away? Intimidated you with abusive language? Denied you affection? Denied you medical attention? Manipulated friends and acquaintances in order to gain allies? Pastor Jeff Crippen uses his over thirty years of experience to rip the lid off this most insidious behavior that is often hidden in plain sight. He not only maintains that Bible believing churches have ignored or failed to face the problem, he insists that when they do counsel a victim of abuse, they get it all wrong! The result is that the victim gets pulled into deeper-even life threatening-danger! This book will come as a life-saver in a raging sea for those under the thumb of an abusive spouse of "friend". The Lord Jesus Christ wants you to be free in him: spiritually, emotionally, and, yes, physically. Every pastor also needs to read this book, either because they too have been a victim, but, more importantly, so that they properly counsel those caught in a cycle of abuse.
