Synopsis
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.

Editor A. Canales of the The Critical Review in El Paso, TX 79903 USA says: This work is a timely and needed book. Focusing in on abuse within the church as well as shepherding groups, sects, cells, and cults, the author presents one of the most lucid exposés of authoritarianism. ...
...Mainstream churches are not immune to an authoritarian pastor either. Mary A. Chrnalogar has spent nearly two decades dealing with this kind of abuse. She does an excellent job of explaining false discipleship and what it is...
...An important chapter is the fifth, "The Language of Enslavement" and here the emotive vocabulary used by controllers and manipulators is presented...
...Her "Control in Black in White" chapter is one of the best ones, which exposes various fallacies and displays mind-influencing techniques....
...While reading all the negative that does exist, it's not all hopeless. There is a way to freedom and that is the reason for this book....
Dr. Paul Martin founder of Wellspring Retreat for the Spiritually Abused says, "This is by far one of the best books on the subject. Twisted Scriptures can be a very valuable resource and self-help guide. Few books compare to this fine resource."" -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Many churches are trying "discipleship" programs which can be a mere cover-up of the true intentions of those in the high leadership roles in the church. This book explores some of the many methods and the psychology behind religious mind-control and offers help, recovery and finding true happiness and freedom in one's religious beliefs. No Christian library is complete without this book.
Format:Taschenbuch
An informative, highly original book, Twisted Scriptures gives information to help people evaluate what the Bible actually teaches, as opposed to what controlling religious leaders teach. This book exposes shepherding, a practice that has crept into many churches. Ideas which are widely taught and accepted as being from the Bible, but which are not Biblical, are refuted. The author shows that submission is to be made to God alone and to His Word, not to leaders who attempt to control people with guilt and manipulation. The author raises a clarion call for the freedom of the individual and his or her freedom of choice. A groundbreaking book. This book will protect you from religous abuse, and give you firm Biblical ground for your boundaries. If you have been manipulated by controlling religious leaders, this book will set you free.

Before this book came out, Mary Alice posted on the internet a few summary chapters of her upcoming book!
Three month later I was desperate to find out more about what she had written because it seemed that she was following me around the last 7 years. She basically had a part of my lifes story!
She had completed the manuscript, but had no time to complete the website summaries because this book was going to the press.
I managed to get the manuscript because of the dire pain my family was going through by the abuse from a Word of Faith church that we attended. The church wanted to control our family. They did not respect a personal decision that my family had made and wanted to control us. The pastor finally gave us an ultimatum - "change your personal decision or get out of this church! I'm tired of people not listening to what I tell them to do!"
Wow! I was shocked, but why should I have been? After getting the book, I read it 4 times more! This was my story and other peoples stories as well!
As I looked back, I started to look back of 7 years of false doctrine presented by twisting scriptures in order to extract money from the people and slowly you started to notice that the pastor had the best car, the best suits, the biggest house and worst of all was the flaunting arrogance as he stood at the pulpit holding his lapel and stating - "one day God will supply you with a suit like mine!"
It was unbelievable! God never provided him with that suit!
When exerts of the book was presented to a deacon at that church, the comment was, "80% of the material in this book represents our church"!
Great news! I was not dreaming, but that was not all! We somehow became a threat to the church and there were some who dared to report to us that for 6 months the pastor subtly continued to twist scriptures in order to isolate the church friends from us.
The deception or fear instilled in the flock was unbelievable. Mary Alice touches the essence of this fear in h! er book.
Once you go through the checklists and you realize that this book is about you and you step out and take a serious look at the control that occurred, then it is guaranteed that you won't look at that church again in the same light and a great weight will be lifted off of your shoulder.
