Sobre IBD

This book is written for individuals that have felt alienated from God because the church failed. After our son was sexually molested by another member of our church, Richard and I looked to our pastors to help us navigate through trauma and pain that such an event produces. Not only were our pastors ill equipped to direct us toward healing, they were unable to express empathy or support. Their solution was a 'don’t talk' rule and 'just forgive' directive. When these failed to satisfy us, the senior pastor stated he would 'released us to find healing somewhere else.' In other words, we were KICKED OUT OF CHURCH. Like so many people that have been wounded by the church or church people, our children were ready to just walk away from the church and the Lord. After all, how do you separate the two.? These were the only pastors our children had ever known. Our pastors had taught us to view the church as family. They had repeatedly reminded us, 'We were in covenant relationship with the Lord and each other.' Yet when life got ugly, they couldn’t wait to get rid of us. How do you separate the truth from the lies after such rejection?Richard and I have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ that precedes our joining that church. We knew that Jesus had not treated us so coldly. We were not willing to walk away from Jesus. Yet we, too, needed to learn to separate Jesus from religious tradition and religious people. This is a recounting for that journey of learning to separate the God that loves us from the church that so often misrepresents Him. May it give you hope.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
