Description
This book is about a man who was hurt by a Christian group and how he dealt with it. He talks about different techniques that groups use to control their members and how it affects them. The book also has letters at the end from the man to people who have left the group and are struggling.
Damaged by the domination of an overly authoritative Christian group, Ken finds himself a troubled young man with many questions. Ken's experience is representative of the large number of individuals who have been hurt by different Christian movements during the last decade. In Letters to a Devastated Christian, Gene Edwards explores the different techniques practiced by Christian groups who demand extreme submission and passivity from their members. The book's final chapters include some very personal and practical letters to those who have left such groups only to be faced with the difficult tasks of dealing with bitterness and resentment and rebuilding their faith and trust.
