Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic Violence is prominent among families in many churches. However, more times than not, when victims finally break their silence and confide in their Pastors, or someone in leadership, they are being given the advice to remain in an abusive relationship, because to divorce would not be pleasing to God. Silent Cry within the Church is geared toward violence among Christian couples, as well as, the children in the home who witness the violence. This book was written to not only shed light on Domestic Violence in Christian homes, but to show the correlation between child abuse and those who become perpetrators of Domestic Violence later in life. Contained within the pages of Silent Cry within the Church are the true testimonies of what victims of Domestic Violence have experienced in the church after bravely speaking out. In addition, Connie shares her family’s story of what happens when the victim does not speak out, and the church chooses to ignore the signs of abuse. Enclosed is also a wealth of knowledge surrounding Domestic Violence, including resources for getting help, the NC Domestic Violence Laws and a section offering words of encouragement for victims and survivors of Domestic Violence. Whether a victim, perpetrator, or child, the answer to violence within the home is the same for all—Jesus Christ. He alone is our deliverer and healer of the broken heart.

Download or read book Breaking the Silence written by Lisha Lender and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hard truth is that no church or faith-based community is immune to having child abuse happen within its church families. Breaking the Silence will educate you about the realities of child abuse and why many victims blame God for abuse, have a misguided understanding of who He is, and walk away from God and the church. It is time for the church to be educated about child abuse and take a stand to support victims. Child abuse includes physical, sexual, and verbal abuse as well as neglect and living in domestic violence. The majority of child abuse is perpetrated by someone in the victim’s family or someone the victim has a close relationship with. Go into the life of victims and learn how they are impacted their entire life by those who abuse them. The ACE study is an eye-opening reality check of the lasting effects of child abuse on victims. Abuse within the family system keeps most victims quiet. Victims feel alone and isolated. This isolation affects every relationship the victim has, now and in the future, especially their relationship with God. It is time for the faith community to be actively involved in helping victims of child abuse. Child abuse is a crime committed against the very children God has entrusted to us. This is not about protecting the church or maintaining family unity. It is about helping people thrive and live the life God intended for them. This can only happen when the church steps up and is willing to face the reality of the brokenness within many of its church families. There is a desperate, silent cry from millions of victims just waiting for someone to notice them, believe them, and help them heal. Breaking the Silence is written as a call to educate the church, but it is loaded with information anyone will find useful. Everyone needs to know and understand the realities of child abuse. Whether you know it or not, abuse is happening in your town, in your neighborhood, and possibly in your own home. We tend to remain silent about things we do not understand. It is time to break the silence.

Download or read book A Cry for Justice written by Jeff Crippen and published by . This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n many Christian circles this may be a taboo subject-spoken of in hushed tones or behind closed doors. But it is a very real problem that must be brought into the light of Scripture. Abuse in the church takes different forms, but it is alive and active even in "nice" families in our churches. Typically, the abuser is male, usually a husband--and his character is that of a manipulating deceiver! Countless women and children even many faithful pastors--have been abused by these deceivers. Have you, or someone you know, been a victim? Has an abuser: Threatened physical violence if he does not get away? Intimidated you with abusive language? Denied you affection? Denied you medical attention? Manipulated friends and acquaintances in order to gain allies? Pastor Jeff Crippen uses his over thirty years of experience to rip the lid off this most insidious behavior that is often hidden in plain sight. He not only maintains that Bible believing churches have ignored or failed to face the problem, he insists that when they do counsel a victim of abuse, they get it all wrong! The result is that the victim gets pulled into deeper-even life threatening-danger! This book will come as a life-saver in a raging sea for those under the thumb of an abusive spouse of "friend". The Lord Jesus Christ wants you to be free in him: spiritually, emotionally, and, yes, physically. Every pastor also needs to read this book, either because they too have been a victim, but, more importantly, so that they properly counsel those caught in a cycle of abuse.

For photos, visit: http://thesilentcrybook.com/ Book Description: I was born into the middle of the apartheid era. My family belongs to a German Lutheran farming community in the province of Natal, South Africa. From 1948 to 1993, the minority white population ruled over the majority non-white population resulting in domination and oppression. Furthermore, each group consisted of a conglomerate of nationalities and tribes respectively, that fell into a certain hierarchy determined by their level of power and influence. It was this order that was constantly challenged and this resulted in frequent aggression. In South Africa, the danger had been outside my house. My children and I had become a soft target! The rapists prowled around my house, trying to gain a way in. After the home invasion one was arrested, charged, convicted, and sent to prison. In Australia, the danger was inside my house. My unpredictable mentally ill husband was the danger, and he eventually attacked my daughter eight years later. The police took him away, and he was admitted to the psychiatric hospital. Then I met the terrorist of the soul! I was shocked to discover that I happened to be a somnambul. This time the danger was inside my mind. This attack was hell on earth. This is a true story. For three years, from November the 15th 2004 to November the 8th 2007, I was held hostage through parapsychology by a very successful pastor of global influence. This soon became a battle for survival. This ministry introduced me to astral sex and then robbed me. The Silent Cry gives you the profile of this predator to prevent you becoming the next casualty. It also documents my fight for freedom and the strategy that saved my life. We now have a government and an adjustment bureau operating parallel to one another. I experienced it first hand. This film shows the torture chamber, it omits the torture that takes place there however. See example: The Adjustment Bureau (2011) starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. The church is cultivating a "superpastor" that operates like a super bug a bacteria or other organism that has mutated and therefore become drug-resistant. The church has become the ideal incubator for superpastors to thrive. The superpastor teams his theology degree with whatever produces the most powerful supernatural experience. The superpastor practices theology alongside witchcraft, psychology, voodoo, hypnosis, astral sex, Shamanism; and other forms of religious practices. They cross over all the boundaries. As long as a profit is being made anything goes. Many of these ministries have become global organizations based on this ambidextrous business model, exploiting the whole world! According to www.ministrywatch.org, the ministry in question receives US $200,000,000.00 in tax-free donations a year! They do not limit themselves to running the church. They are involved in every area of society, including politics. As long as he calls it by a politically correct name and builds a plasterboard school somewhere, he can bank roll almost anything, including funding our enemies. They have the media and satellite at their disposal, which they use to divert your focus away from what made you, as a nation, successful in the first place. The super pastor siphons off the cream. The superpastor is lethal. He is a terrorist of the soul! The superpastor uses the Bible to oppress, not to liberate the people. It is the largest crime syndicate to date, and it is hidden in plain sight. The superpastor hides behind this lie: "You cannot touch me. I am the Lord's anointed!" I want to know: "Who did you say anointed you? I know Jesus! If you had been anointed by Jesus, you would possess His attributes." The false presumption that this man is untouchable places this criminal in a po

Book excerpt: Discover the secret to real, realistic, non-rules-based rest For some of us, resting seems like a waste of time-it means we're missing out on other things. For others, rest seems like a luxury-there's simply too much to do. And for almost all of us, we crave rest, but don't always know how to. This warm, realistic, humorous book shows us the huge spiritual, emotional and physical rewards of rest. It shows us how rest gives us time to spend with God and remember his grace. Discover how rest fuels our joy and confidence in God's sovereignty as we learn to depend on him, and not our own efforts, and are refreshed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Adam Mabry shows us how rest helps us make space for relationships, shared experiences and moments to remember; how it liberates us from the pressure of self-reliance; how it gives us a chance to think and reflect; and how it stops us from burning out. Finally, this book casts a realistic vision for rest that is less rule and more rhythm-less onerous restriction and more liberating art form. Adam Mabry helps us to learn the 'art of rest' with some practical suggestions. The world never stops. But we need to. And as Christians we can by having faith to hit pause and experience the rich rewards of God-given rest.
