{"product_id":"standing-up-to-spiritual-bullies-participants-guide","title":"Standing Up to Spiritual Bullies: Participants’ Guide","description":"Ray Beeson and Chris Hayward combine their years of ministry experience to address head-on the elephant in the room: church members and church leaders hurt Christians. All the time. And the long-lasting effects—rejection, shame, despair, loneliness, fear—can be devastating. The authors have witnessed the rise of the “dones,” those who are just done with church people, and who are determined to never step inside another church building. However, they are not done with God. With first-person stories of hurt and loss, Standing Up to Spiritual Bullies is a wake-up call for any who deny woundedness in the church, but is also a redemptive message for any who hurt from church wounds.\nThe Participants’ Guide contains eight sessions based on the contents of the book. It includes questions for discussion and personal reflections for each person plus key scriptures, “to ponder, and the closing prayer. Ideal for a group study or personal devotions.\nSession 1: The Pain\nSession 2: Neglect and Rejection\nSession 3: Shame, Manipulation, and Loneliness\nSession 4: Forgiveness and Moving Past the Pain\nSession 5: Identity and the Role of the Law\nSession 6: The Religious Spirit and Perfectionism\nSession 7: Rejecting Clichés and Finding a Church Home\nSession 8: Hope Beyond the Pain\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0G7ZW1YCV\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0G7ZW1YCV.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Beeson, Ray|Hayward, Chris\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
