Sister Renee Pittelli

Award-winning author Sister Renee Pittelli is an Adult Child Recovery Mentor, victim's advocate, and the founder and director of Luke 17:3 Ministries for Adult Children of Abusive, Controlling, or Abandoning Birth-Families. She is the product of an abusive childhood and abusive family relationships that continued long into her adulthood. At the age of 47 the Lord set her free, when she was disowned by her abusive family for setting limits on their behavior to protect her own children.

Since then, God has blessed Sister Renee with healing and peace, and has led her to help others by sharing her testimony and experiences. She is a proponent of No Contact when dealing with narcissistic abusers, and has extensively studied the scriptural view on this issue and researched the biblical instructions for the children of God to stay away from the children of the devil. The Lord has led her to serve as a consultant to therapists, psychiatrists, ministers and other professionals in the field of narcissistic abuse and pass on her extensive knowledge of this specialty which is largely neglected in schools of psychology. She has written extensively about family abusers, narcissists, psychopaths, bullies and their enablers, the dilemmas unique to abusive family systems, the biblical perspective on abuse, setting and enforcing boundaries, godly confrontation, the myths of forgiveness without repentance and honoring abusive parents, cutting ties with reprobate friends and relatives, church and spiritual abuse, No Contact, and living the life of freedom, peace and joy that our heavenly Father intended for us.

Sister Renee is a happily married mother of two adult sons and a grandmother. She loves family and friend time, animals, old-time gospel music, oldies and blues, sitting on the porch, playing the piano, reading and studying, antiquing, cooking, being with her church family, and spending time with the Lord.
