Midwest Book Review
Leaders of many religious groups (even including several mainstream churches)
are twisting the Scriptures to subtly coerce cooperation from their members. In
the process, personalities are changed and lives ruined. Mary Alice Chrnalogar
is a deprogrammer with an international reputation. Chrnalogar reveals how
classic mind control techniques are used to systematically seduce followers into
total obedience. Twisted Scriptures: A Path To Freedom From Abusive Churches
shows readers how to tell when churches are suppressing freedom of speech,
intimidating followers, and distorting the Bible. Twisted Scriptures is
invaluable as a self-help guide and as a tool for families and friends to free
loved ones from destructive groups.
Book Description
Dangerous leaders - some even in mainstream churches - are twisting the
scriptures to coerce their members into subordination. In the process,
once-promising lives can become mired in a distorted religious reality that
supresses human freedom and destroys lives.
Give this self-help guide to anyone trapped in an abusive, unhealthy group. It
can restore critical thinking, and bring loved ones back from what may seem like
an impossible situation. Chrnalogar's powerful book has - and will continue to -
set lives free.
The author reveals the subtle control techniques that manipulate and intimidate
followers. Mary Alice identifies the very persuasive and deceptive practices of
powerful groups, and then arms the reader with the tools to overcome them.
17 comprehensive chapters show the way, along with an epilogue and appendices
that include further resources.
From the Back Cover
For Someone Else If You’re Concerned. For Yourself If You’ve Ever Wondered. You
joined your church because of its intensity for God. Like no other place, it’s
helped you discover the meaning of obedience. Of teachableness. Of death to
self. If there’s one problem, it’s the confusion that sometimes comes from your
own carnal thinking. But God has given you leaders who can lovingly correct a
doubting, independent spirit and help you choose God’s best for your life.
How can you go wrong with a church like that? Easily. What you’ve just read
actually fits the profile of many abusive churches. Twisted Scriptures reveals
in depth how the Bible can be distorted in ways that rob you of the liberty
Jesus died to give you. You might be shocked at what you discover.
This book uncovers the subtle but powerful techniques by which, in the name of
truth, controlling leaders manipulate and intimidate countless believers. It
also supplies tools for overcoming persuasive, deceptive teachings and
practices.
Thousands of Christians have already moved from struggle to true freedom and
hope through Twisted Scriptures. If you truly want to grow in everything God
made you to be, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
