Overview
āWe have a right to encounter God where we are. We have a sacred responsibility to experience God authentically."Ā
What happens when the God weāve been taught to believe in seems powerless to help us in the struggles of life? What do we do when the God we personally encounter no longer resembles the God weāve been shown in narrow interpretations of the Bible?Ā
Many of those raised in the world of fundamentalist Christianity have been manipulated into accepting a false reality that runs counter to lived experience. The result is confusion, isolation, fear, shame, and trauma, often carried throughout oneās entire life. This book is for the victims of this spiritual abuseāanyone looking to reclaim their faith from legalism, nationalism, sexism, anxiety, intolerance, and other mechanisms of control utilized by Godās self-appointed gatekeepers. Itās for anyone who has learned that the real God is infinitely complex, that authentic faith is perfectly compatible with doubt, and that our suffering is not something weāve earned.Ā
Gaslighted by GodĀ is not a book of easy answersāitās a companion for those mourning the loss of a belief system who need their pain recognized and legitimized. Tiffany Yecke Brooks showsāthrough stories from her own life, conversations with Christians from a variety of backgrounds, historical anecdotes, and messy episodes from Scriptureāthat there can be faith after disillusionment. But it will be a different faithābruised, battered, nuanced, andĀ real, rather than one wrapped in tissue-thin platitudes and three-point sermons. It will be a faith empowered to see beyond who God āshouldā be to who GodĀ is.
