Rape is a terrible violation of a person's body, security and peace of mind, and has been known to scar some people for life. While our most likely reference to rape is sexual assault, men and women who put their trust in churches and pastors, only to be spiritually violated, coerced and manipulated, are often just as scarred as those who have suffered the physical counterpart. They are deeply wounded, and often find it difficult to place their trust in another man or woman of the cloth. Some stay away from church completely; others are so guarded that they are indifferent or even hostile to the word of God, especially if it comes from a preacher. The church is supposed to be a safe place, where people can find solace, peace, joy, comfort and fellowship. In her landmark new book, I've Been Raped by the Church, A Recovery Guide for the Wounded, Co-Pastor and Evangelist Vicky Lynch shares a shocking truth-not all churches are safe places, even for believers. Everyday people are wounded by pastors who are supposed to be lovingly shepherding their flocks, but instead are abusing and killing them. Some are so good at it that their people wonder if they are delusional or if the church is out-of-order. How can these things be? Well, even Old Testament Scripture addresses these issues. This problem is not a new one, but it has always broken the heart of God, who wants pastors to reflect His unconditional love and help His people find their destinies. Vicky shares insights that will equip you to identify spiritual abuse and offers options on dealing with it. If you've been victimized by spiritual abuse, or you know someone who has, she offers hope and healing for you and others you know who struggle.

Many people thought she was crazy. If you read this book, you might think the same thing. But this is a story of hope. Hope in the midst of torment and torture. Gloria Lovejoy's memoir is an unabashed account of a troubled woman's life coping with family strife, drug abuse, alcoholism, promiscuity, and suicide attempts. Later came the paranoid delusions, voices, demonic apparitions and hallucinations that were the tell-tale signs of a schizophrenic disorder. Gloria painfully tells of her rejection by friends and family. She recounts her years in therapy, and the revolving door of mental institutions. However, Gloria's Road demonstrates that the mentally ill are not outside of Christ's mercy and grace. Gloria tells her story of how she came to find peace in Christ, and how her relationship with God helped her to cope with her struggles and live a fulfilling and fruitful life.

If you think your house is safe, this suspense novel will make you think twice about the sanctity of your own home. Although it is fiction, this story is based on true events that have happened to some and can happen to anyone. Jesse Kane, an assistant pastor, and his wife, Jennifer, return to the United States from a successful mission trip. They travel to Jennifer's parents' home in Tennessee to pick up their two children. When they arrive, suspicious signs in their email indicate that someone has been trying to steal their identity. They rush home to Virginia to find out what is going on. Along the way, they get a disturbing phone call from a neighbor. Someone has broken into the Kanes' million dollar home. It was not a typical, run-of-the-mill burglary. Most burglars break-in, steal and leave quickly, but these two intruders had no intention of leaving. They planned to stay. And stay for a while. The police were legally unable to help. The intruders seem to have the law on their side. The Kanes' faith is tested when these squatters refuse to relinquish their possession of the Kane house. The Kanes' effort to reclaim their home exposes them to the hard realities and deficiencies of the legal system in America. It tests their marriage when Jesse stops at nothing to get their home and their lives back, including a risky attempt to uncover a mysterious organization that may be helping the squatters. Their relationship with their friends and their children are at risk. Their ordeal forces them to realize that their once-sound faith may not be as durable as they thought. And every person in this story will be changed forever; some for better, and others for worse. Will the Kanes lose everything before they understand what truly matters?
