Every year dedicated Christian people leave churches because of spiritual abuse. What factors contribute to dedicated and active believers leaving their church and becoming exiting statistics? The stories of people who left their home church because of a negative and hurtful experience paint a picture of a widespread occurrence, which beckons consideration by church leaders and church congregants alike.

The Purpose of this doctoral research was to understand how Christians had gone from the devastating experience of spiritual abuse at their local church to a condition of spiritual restoration.  It aimed to demonstrate how people, who had experienced grief and loss in their Christian lives at the hands of church leaders, had over time regained spiritual equilibrium.

The original dissertation is available at A.C.T.S. Seminaries on the Trinity Western University campus in Langley, B.C.

I’ve already ordered her book!  Hopefully I’ll find the time to review it in the next few weeks.
