We have a sacred responsibility to experience God authentically.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when the God we've been taught to believe in seems powerless to help us in the struggles of life? What do we do when the God we personally encounter no longer resembles the God we've been shown in narrow interpretations of the Bible? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of those raised in the world of fundamentalist Christianity have been manipulated into accepting a false reality that runs counter to lived experience. The result is confusion, isolation, fear, shame, and trauma, often carried throughout one's entire life. This book is for the victims of this spiritual abuse--anyone looking to reclaim their faith from legalism, nationalism, sexism, anxiety, intolerance, and other mechanisms of control utilized by God's self-appointed gatekeepers. It's for anyone who has learned that the real God is infinitely complex, that authentic faith is perfectly compatible with doubt, and that our suffering is not something we've earned. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGaslighted by God \u003c\/i\u003eis not a book of easy answers--it's a companion for those mourning the loss of a belief system who need their pain recognized and legitimized. Tiffany Yecke Brooks shows--through stories from her own life, conversations with Christians from a variety of backgrounds, historical anecdotes, and messy episodes from Scripture--that there can be faith after disillusionment. But it will be a different faith--bruised, battered, nuanced, and \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e, rather than one wrapped in tissue-thin platitudes and three-point sermons. It will be a faith empowered to see beyond who God should be to who God \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741870301457,"sku":"NGR9780802878687","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50236881731857,"sku":"CIN0802878687G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52415605211409,"sku":"CIN0802878687VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":53022105796881,"sku":"CIN0802878687LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802878687.jpg?v=1750882659"},{"product_id":"holy-ghosted-book-tiffany-yecke-brooks-9780802882806","title":"Holy Ghosted","description":"\u003cb\u003eHow to recognize the tactics of spiritual abuse--and save your faith  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Are you questioning the church of your upbringing but want to maintain your faith?
