Synopsis

This book provides a well-researched biblical and scientific overview of abuse. A broad overview, it deals with the various types of abuse, the various effects of abuse, and the means of healing. Abuse can be sexual, physical, neglect, spiritual, and verbal. The chief arguments pursued throughout the book are: (1) abuse is far more rampant than most Christians realize, but due to human depravity and satanic influence, widespread abuse is predicable. (2) All types of abuse create profound, long-term soul damage due to the way abuse perverts various aspects of the image of God. (3) God is the healing redeemer. Human salvation came through horrible physical abuse. (4) Healing must take place in the context of relationships. Humans are deeply impacted by others due to being made in the image of God. Just as surely as abusive relationships have tremendous power to wound the soul, so healthy relationships have tremendous power to nurture and heal the soul. Questions answered in the book include: - How can a genuine believer abuse a child? - Why would someone abuse a child? - How can parents and childrens' workers identify abusers? - How can abuse victims heal? - What does genuine healing look like? - Is anger appropriate or hurtful for abuse victims? - Where does forgiveness fit in? Helpful sample child protection policy, application, screening interview, and warning signs of potential abusers equip ministry leaders. Illustrations, case studies, and art therapy drawings.

Charismatic Control

Charismatic Control

By: Lambert, Steven

Multitudes of sincere and trusting believers are caught unawares in the virtually invisible web of religious captivation in certain Charismatic/Neo-Pentecostal churches. They are unwitting victims of spiritual abuse psychological enslavement and various forms of exploitation perpetrated under the heavy-hand of hyper-authoritarianism. That is to say the leadership of the church-group of which they are a part is dominating controlling manipulating and exploiting their followers for personal gain and private kingdom-building. Such authoritarian abuse is pandemic in some sectors of the Church and many of the perpetrators are prominent and respected leaders of church-groups or ministries espousing otherwise orthodox Christian beliefs whose membership is comprised of a cross section of average Americans-individuals and families-of every race education level station and walk of life rather than radical fringe religious sects and cults as many would suppose. Though religious predomination is certainly nothing new and hyper-authoritarianism is by no means limited to the Neo-Pentecostal branch of the Church it has especially flourished in the Charismatic and so-called "third and fourth wave New Apostolic Restoration" (i.e. Neo-Pentecostal) groups since it was infused into the very fabric foundation and functions of that branch of the Church in the early- to mid-1970s via what became known as the "Discipleship/Shepherding Movement." The doctrines and practices spawned in that movement remain an integral part of the operations of many churches and groups today. Charismatic Control tells readers how - * to recognize unBiblical hyper-authoritarian doctrines and practices; * how they became a widespread integral part of the Neo-Pentecostal church; * why these teachings and practices are outright witchcraft authored by Satan Himself; * "The Common Control Mechanisms" employed by hyper-authoritarian groups and leaders.
