Unlock the Truth and Reclaim Your Faith
For years, you may have believed that anger is always sinful, that your ongoing grief means you have a "root of bitterness," or that advocating for the oppressed is sinfully "taking up offenses." These widely-taught doctrines have tied up countless believers in shame and silence, especially those escaping abuse.
But these teachings aren't biblical.
In this first volume of the Untwisting Scriptures series, biblical scholar and abuse advocate Rebecca Davis dives deep into three particular teachings that have caused widespread harm in Christian spaces.
Through careful Biblical explanations, historical context, and real-life examples, you can return to the character of God as just, kind, and trustworthy.
What You'll Discover
You DO have God-given human rights - Learn why the "yield your rights" teaching contradicts Scripture, how it leads to abuse, and how even Jesus and Paul retained their rights.
Biblical bitterness is NOT always sinful - Understand the distinct types of bitterness in the Bible and why ongoing pain after abuse doesn't mean you're in sin.
God commands us to advocate for the oppressed - See how the "don't take up offenses" teaching twists Scripture and contradicts both biblical mandate and Christian history.
What Scripture actually teaches about anger, justice, and rights - Discover what Jesus really meant about "turning the other cheek" and why Paul defended his rights as a Roman citizen.
This is not a book about leaving the truth of God.
It's about knowing what the truth of God really is, with clarity. Learn what the Bible truly says and does not say, and reclaim the life our Lord has always intended for His people.
If you've felt shut down and smashed, spiritually disoriented, or guilty for speaking up, this book is your guide to reclaiming your faith from spiritual abuse and finding healing.
Discussion guides are available without charge at heresthejoy.com.
