in the Church: Escaping the Grip of Religious Control and Finding Freedom in Christ” is a powerful, eye-opening book that pulls back the curtain on toxic church culture, spiritual abuse, and manipulation in religious environments. Through personal testimonies, real-life examples, and scriptural truth, this book walks readers through the painful experiences of being controlled, silenced, and shamed—all in the name of God.
Each chapter sheds light on different aspects of spiritual bondage—from forced loyalty, emotional exploitation, financial manipulation, and false deliverance, to how grace and scripture are weaponized to keep believers bound.
But this is not just a book about pain—it’s a story of healing, restoration, and freedom. With each chapter, readers are invited to reflect, journal, and pray their way through the layers of hurt and into the arms of a loving, freeing Savior.
