Untwisting Scriptures that were used to tie you up, gag you, and tangle your mind: Book 3 Your Words, Your Emotions

Stop Letting Twisted Scripture Shut You Down and Protect Your Abuser

Have you been told that speaking about abuse is gossip? That your anger is always sin? That showing emotion means you lack faith?

Abusers and abuse enablers have turned Bible passages about gossip, slander, and bearing false witness into tools that protect perpetrators while silencing victims.

Using twisted Scriptures, they've condemned your anger, dismissed your fear, and demanded you suppress every emotion that alerts you to danger.

But these interpretations aren't biblical—they're abusive.

In Untwisting Scriptures that were used to tie you up, gag you, and tangle your mind: Book 3 Your Words Your Emotions, Rebecca Davis exposes the systematic Scripture-twisting used to gag abuse survivors and shut down their emotions.

With meticulous biblical scholarship and trauma-informed insight, she examines every verse weaponized against those who speak truth, then shows you what these passages actually mean in context.
