Description Product Details Reviews (0) Untwisting Scriptures to Find Freedom and Joy in Jesus Christ: Book 4 Wolves, Hypocrisy, Sin Leveling, and Righteousness Rebecca Davis BOOK #4 IN THE UNTWISTING SCRIPTURES SERIES 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 to Find Freedom and Joy in Jesus Christ: Book 4, Wolves, Hypocrisy, Sin Leveling, and Righteousness, Rebecca Davis addresses the accusations made against victims and survivors of abuse through words like “you’re the worst sinner you know,” “all Christians are hypocrites,” “get the log out of your own eye,” and more, examining the Scriptures behind them. She explores harmful messages that have been delivered in the name of God by twisting the concepts of Righteousness and Wickedness, treating all sins as equal and allowing wolves to proliferate in the churches. 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 “We’re All Hypocrites/Pharisees/Wolves” without losing a relationship with God. In fact, you may just find a Jesus you never knew.

Before she wrote about spiritual abuse, Rebecca’s missionary stories and biographies (one of which is an award winner) were written for families to enjoy together. In addition to solo books, as an editor Rebecca also writes in collaboration with others who have an important story to tell.
