A review by persistent_reader
The Lord is My Courage by K.J. Ramsey
5.0
Spiritual abuse is real. Wolves in shepherds’ clothing are real. But the Good Shepherd is greater.
This book walks the reader through the familiar words and phrases of Psalm 23 and applies it to how Christ ministers to his children who have been harmed by spiritual abuse. From the perspective of a counselor, KJ Ramsey addresses how our bodies, including our nervous system, are affected by abuse and ways to bring wholeness to every part of ourselves. As a spiritual abuse survivor, she brings firsthand experience of the pain and anguish from this sort of betrayal and how God led her and her husband out of harm’s way to healing.
This was an affirming book and validated much of my own experience. This was also a comforting book. It was good to be reminded that Jesus is with us in the hard and dark places because he went there himself.
