 | Healing Spiritual Abuse by Ken Blue
Are you a victim of spiritual abuse? Are you discouraged from questioning the decisions or teachings church leaders make? If you do little or no volunteer work for the church, do you feel like a second-class Christian? Does your pastor insist on being addressed by a title such as Dr . or Pastor ? Do you hear many broad, vague appeals to surrender fully , yield completely or lay it all on the altar ? Are public reports about various ministry activities sometimes exaggerated? Do church members feel safe talking only about past victories, not present struggles? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a victim of spiritual abuse. Many of us have gone through bad church experiences that have left us feeling like failures. Blaming ourselves, we asked for God's forgiveness, but still felt distant from the church and sometimes from God too. Often, however, the fault is not ours but that of Christian leaders who abuse spiritually. How can we recognize the signs of spiritual abuse? What can we do to gain healing from the wounds we have experienced? With clarity and refreshing honesty, Ken Blue answers these questions and offers hope and healing to the victims of spiritual abuse. In addition he shows Christian leaders how to avoid abusive patterns and instead offer Christ's gospel of grace to every casualty of bad church experiences. AUTHOR: Ken Blue

 | Stranger in the Nest
Do children's aptitudes and interests depend more on genes than parenting? The author of this riveting read answers Yes to this question -- and draws on two decades of research in behavioral genetics to support this provocative perspective. Children are not born as blank slates. In fact, new research indicates that DNA, rather than parents, may determine much about how people think, feel, and behave. Although environment does play a role in development, the degree of parental influence could be far less than is normally thought. In this riveting book, psychologist David Cohen puts a human face on the age-old nature-nurture debate, and explains how genetics impact personality and aptitude. Any parent who has ever questioned what they did wrong -- or right -- needs to read Stranger in the Nest.
