Toxic Faith: Experiencing Healing Over Painful Spiritual Abuse (1st Shaw ed.)

Experiencing Healing from Painful Spiritual AbuseWhen religion becomes a means to avoid or control life, it becomes toxic.

Those who possess a toxic faith have stepped across the line from a balanced perspective of God to an unbalanced faith in a weak, powerless or uncaring God.

They seek a God to fix every mess, prevent every hurt, and mend every conflict.Toxic Faith distinguishes between a healthy faith and a misguided religiosity that traps believers in an addictive practice of religion.

It shows how unbalanced ministries, misguided churches, and unscrupulous leaders can lead their followers away from God and into a desolate experience of religion that drives many to despair.

Toxic Faith shows readers how to find hope for a return to genuine, healthy faith that can add meaning to life.

In the words of the author, I want to help you throw out that toxic faith and bring you back to the real thing.From the Trade Paperback edition.
