SAVAGE SHEPHERDS: one man's story of overcoming spiritual abuse.
My new book, Savage Shepherds will soon be out. It's a true story of one man's recovery from spiritual abuse in the context of the Shepherding Movement under the leadership of the Fort Lauderdale Five in the 1980's.
Abuse takes place when one person has power over another and uses that power to hurt. Spiritual abuse is worse, because it is done in the name of God. Read the harrowing story of manipulation and control, of fear and deception, of emotional blackmail and stoney heartedness, of people of God watching as a family falls apart, gloating over bankruptcy and psychological burnout.
But this is not a story of bitterness and revenge. Savage Shepherds tells how God's grace and reckless love rescues and points to the one who heals.
It is written with the prayer that many who have been wounded will through it find healing, refreshment and empowerment.
