Courage for Christian Readers is an amply illustrated anthology of short stories and short articles, many of which were previously published by Bob Jones University Press. I have updated them and added new material. Stories feature adventures in a variety of settings: the training hall of martial arts, the mountains of Appalachia, the battlefields of Korea, the low country of South Carolina, and the intense competition of a fencing match; and of course, the far flung reaches of outer space. With diverse characters and situations, each story explores the tough decisions we are called to make...

Survivors of sexual and domestic abuse in Christian Fundamentalism have been neglected and vilified by the teachings of Walter Fremont, Jim Berg, Bob Wood, Jack Hyles, Bill Gothard, and others. All of these men, as well as the behaviorist system called Nouthetic Counseling, have represented themselves as experts at counseling, in spite of not having even the most basic education in the proper treatment of acute trauma or post-traumatic conditions. They are also guilty of gross ignorance of the Bible. It is entirely possible for the Christian believer to live a life of triumph after abuse, ...

A month of daily readings from the Bible for the purpose of unlearning the bad teachings of Christian Fundamentalism and learning the comfort, hope, and faith of Christianity.

Seven popular IFB sermons are chosen , outlined, and examined in light of the very texts that they claim to preach. The author shows the utter disregard for Scripture of the men preaching, as well as their ignorance of it. Where possible, urls to the full sermons referenced are provided in the text (as of 2021)...

THE LAMBS WORKBOOK shows the reader that being sexually abused as a child (or at least an adolescent) was experienced by at least one of the Old Testament patriarchs. It also shows that Jesus Christ himself has shared in suffering unjustly at the hands of false religious leaders. The book offers one lesson per week, with wonderful explanatory devotions to read for each day between the lessons. This format is an amazing tool and is, in my opinion, Jeri Massi's finest work in her outreach to victims of clergy abuse. The workbook offers valuable lessons and simple instruction for those who ...
