Have you found that you can’t read the Bible without being sent back into a painful place? Have the Scriptures been twisted to keep you in bondage? The real Jesus wants to set you free. In Untwisting Scriptures: Book 3 Your Words, Your Emotions, Rebecca Davis addresses the gag placed over victims and survivors of abuse through words like “don’t gossip,” “don’t bear false witness,” “don’t be negative,” and more, examining the Scriptures behind them. She also explores harmful messages that have been delivered in the name of God regarding our emotions, especially focusing on fear and anxiety, anger, and empathy, laying out what Scripture teaches about these emotions. A toxic faith needs to be deconstructed and rebuilt on the solid foundation of the true Lord Jesus Christ. Untwisting Scriptures does this by faithfully examining word meaning, context, and the heart of God for His people. This book will untwist and present the beautiful truth of God’s Word, exposing sin where it needs to be revealed, and offering hope to those who desperately need it. Scriptures can be untwisted. You can walk away from the spiritual abuse of “Don’t Talk Don’t Feel” without losing a relationship with God. In fact, you may just find a Jesus you never knew.
