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.
