Here are some of the best books on the market today for anyone who has been, or is presently involved in an abusive church environment.
For the individual who has broken free; for the person who is still trapped in the "system" and cannot escape; and for the actual abusers themselves who are caught up in their "authority gone wild," these books will stir your soul. They are excellent.
You will not be disappointed.
Check them out at your local Christian book store, or they are available right now on amazon.com.
(Amazon.com has probably the best price available anyway. For your convenience, I placed the link for the books to go straight to amazon. Just highlight your mouse over the book cover and "click.")

RECOMMENDED READING
No stone is left uncovered. A thorough historical survey of the first 300 years of church history and verse by verse studies of key chapters adds compelling evidence as to why tithing is a false teaching for today. This book will help loosen the bonds of financial voo-doo that the many churches preach today. It’s a book that your pastor will hate, but that you will love.

Also, a great book exposing the evils of tithing in the church today
"SHOULD THE CHURCH TEACH TITHING" A Theologian's Conclusions about a Taboo Doctrine by Russell Earl Kelly, Ph.D.
"Legalism is a perversion of true Christianity, and one that needs to be examined by every believer," explains the author. "Legalism hurts families. Always. Eventually."

Should church leaders "bind the consciences" of God's people to care for their pastors? What saith the Scriptures?
Read why "c-h-u-r-c-h" has evolved into something else!
The local institutional church has become a cesspool of human iniquity; a quandary of religious bondage to the whims of men. Heed the warnings HERE.
"..I go because of love for God, for His Church, and for hearing His Word preached..”
Many will parrot the same polished answer, all nodding their heads in unison, not having the slightest clue as to what they are saying, neither the mind to question its genuineness.

Who are the "MANY" who prophesy, cast out demons, and do many wonderful works in Jesus' name? Who is Jesus REALLY warning us about? Is anyone listening?
When loyalty to, or dependence upon, any church or any "church leader" ever comes close to being equal to your loyalty and love to your husband, then you are so sick spiritually that you can't think straight.

Is "skipping church a bad idea and spiritually dangerous?"
This article examines and exposes this unbiblical hot air and
blows it out of the water.
For a complete listing,
Then, “the pastor” (Pastor John) died and stood before God. And then, God said......
Jesus never held regularly
scheduled meetings.
So when a “local institutional church” meets together, what does that
mean specifically?

There is absolutely nothing whatsoever revealed in God's Word about the primacy and exaltation of a specialist who issues forth a monologue Sunday after Sunday, notwithstanding the literally myriads of messages to the contrary.
See and learn from the Scriptures the Truth.

Falsehoods have many wings. Never judge anything by its popularity or by its majority.
Can you find anyone in the New Testament who was
hired by the congregation?

LIE OF THE WEEK
“God has ordained all of our Sunday services for your benefit!”
THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“Spiritual Progress”
1) A term used as bait to lure members into mindless, zombie-like submission; 2) Growth and/or development in submitting to your church elders (viewed a spiritual progress); 3) An observable activity, especially with reference to being present at all of the stated meetings of the church.
“Janet is showing signs of spiritual progress. She comes to all of
the stated meetings!”
False worship is everywhere and highly visible, but true worship is rare and hidden from carnal sight. False worship is often visible because the worshippers seek to be seen of men and to have the approval of men, but true worship is for the praise of God and Him alone. False worship is built upon having a "place" for people to come to so that the works of men may continue to be carried out.
True worship doesn’t take place just by engaging in man's “Sunday Go to Church” routine.
These are great truths that the vast majority of church members have not grasped to this day.
If anyone ever tells you that they have a "New Testament church," ask them a simple question: “Who's the pastor?”
If you get a title and a name in response, you may respond with sublime confidence: "Oh no you don't have a New Testament church!"
In the New Testament and in the early church up till about 150 A.D., THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS "THE PASTOR." There is nothing in mainstream Christendom that offends the UNscriptural, perverse, worldly church order so much as attacks upon the holy, sacred, and venerable institution known as "The Pastor."
But it needs to be hammered home despite the difficultly that many will have with it. So, here it is again: In the New Testament and in the early church up till about 150 A.D., THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS “THE PASTOR!”
