Finished reading: Ambushed! by Gail Jarrow 📚

Finished reading: Opus by Gareth Gore 📚

The spiritual abuse chronicled in this book is just evil; including of course the alleged human trafficking.

Placing power & money over people is always wrong. Hopefully the church will be given the grace to overcome & correct these abuses.
