The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse by david Johnson and Jeff Van Vonderen was the first book I came in contact with just over one year ago at Koorong.It really opened my eyes and made me start to really question things. So many parallels that I had to really ask my self was rci a loving God run churchora total controlling and egotistically run organisation (which had controlled my life for 20 years and brought mostly misery.) It got the door open for me to seriously contemplating leaving. Thank goodness. I now have my life back and can make my own decisions. Now thats a bonus! Hope you find it useful too.
