Is your church really as safe as you think it is? * If someone was abusing a child close to you, could you tell?* Don't victims often make up accusations to get attention?* Does "forgive and forget" include letting a sex offender attend church with children present?* How can we effectively protect our most vulnerable members? Far too often, faith communities are unwitting soft targets for abuse of many kinds. Myths on forgiveness, repentance, reconciliation, and reporting are abundant -- allowing predators and abusers to easily manipulate, charm, and deceive many trusting leaders, parents, and children. Myths We Believe, Predators We Trust will equip you to debunk 37 common myths about abusers in church, making your faith community a safer place.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
As advocates against abuse in the faith community, we encounter many deeply rooted myths about abuse, sex offenders, and domestic violence. We find that scripture is commonly twisted to enable abusive behavior patterns at home and in church.
Our hearts ache at the anguish caused by the misuse of God's words, and we grieve the ways God's character of love and protection is so often misrepresented.
Myths We Believe, Predators We Trust is our effort to shed light on just a few of these myths. Using expert knowledge, bible references, and proven research -- we hope this little book will equip you to make your church safer.
Warmly,
Sarah & Daron
You've probably heard some of these myths. You may even believe some of them. We did too, before we learned the truth about abuse in church.
