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."

What happens when you reject the teachings of Scripture and the example of the apostles?
A recipe for tyranny.
"Obey them that have the rule over you and submit." What does this REALLY mean?
"Stated
Meetings"
"Stated Meetings?" Where is this found in the Bible?
Some recommended materials that you can read immediately:
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.
Read how these serial killers of the soul operate
each and every week.
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.
Jesus, the King, “delegating His authority” to so-called church rulers, HAS NO BASIS IN SCRIPTURE WHATSOEVER, and this publication will prove it to you.
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.
HOW and WHY do people who profess to be Christians get "going to church" from the Bible? This brief article will clearly answer that question and show, FROM THE BIBLE,why "going to church" is UNbiblical.

THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“PRIMACY OF PREACHING”
1) An unscriptural conception, drummed into the heads of church members, exalting the unscriptural position of “the pastor;” 2) A catch-phrase used by church leaders in order to propagate church attendance.
“The Bible emphasizes the primacy of preaching during the worship services.”
Judgement day won't
be rigged.

"The Pastoral Office"
Do “your church leaders” repeatedly make you aware of your “rank”
in the church?
LIE OF THE WEEK
“True worship is what we do each Sunday in the house of God!”
Is it okay to have salaried positions “in-the-church?”
Absolutely not. Why? Because there are no such “positions in the church!” Whoever it was that suddenly decided to receive a salary was the first to set an unbiblical precedent.
In the New Testament, nobody received a salary. Jesus, Paul, the twelve apostles, and every other servant in the New Testament never received a salary. Is “your pastor” greater than these? Who was more worthy to receive a salary than the Son of God...and yet He didn't! Jesus did not charge admission at the Sermon on the Mount and His teaching was far better than any conference, seminar, retreat, or any Sunday morning service you might find today.
Jesus did not expect the masses to feed Him. He fed the masses! Let “your pastor” try that on for size. But don’t hold your breath, that’s for sure!
