An Outcry Against Abuse in Christian Culture by Cyan Fambrough
This nonfiction work may be triggering for some who've experienced abuse. But as a reader who can't always make it through long books on certain triggering subjects, I think it's key to note that this is a fairly quick read.
If you're interested in reviewing a copy on Goodreads and/or a retailer site within one or two weeks (or featuring the book on your blog within 30 days), reply here or inbox me so I can email you an ebook review copy: MOBI, EPUB, or PDF. Thank you!

The problem may be bigger than you think.
Through generations, Christians have joined a wide variety of churches and church communities, seeking to draw closer to God and fellow believers. Seeking to grow in the faith, to love and be loved.
Yet, for too many people, much of what they've experienced in their church communities hasn't been love at all. And not enough believers are aware of how common and serious the issue of abuse is in Christian circles.
In this essay, an abuse survivor shares reflections to raise Christians' awareness, discussing some key ways in which abuse finds a place in churches, and expressing thoughts on how to combat this issue—an issue Christianity can't afford to ignore.
