Women

“In her vital contribution to the purity culture conversation, Rollins reveals a world in which the body absorbs everything religion tells us is bad about women. She takes us on a journey through the ways that she and other women learned to dominate, deny, and bully their bodies into small, quiet, controlled submission to earn the love of God—and the healing that is available when we realize we are lovable exactly as we are, body and all.”

On Her Knees

History & Biography

“Davies journeys from evangelical Christian purity culture to Hollywood at its hottest as she struggles to reclaim a sexuality that has been squeezed, suppressed, used, and abused to meet the disparate desires of men. In the process, the young woman who spent most of her life on her knees—be it for a rock-and-roll god or a religious one—learns to stand up for herself. Hers is a story with which many young women, forced to reconcile the world’s incongruous expectations for their sexuality, will identify.”

The #MeToo Reckoning

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In her remarkable clarion call for change, Ruth Everhart reminds religious leaders tempted to view #MeToo as a dismissible modern political movement that variations of 'me too' have echoed off the walls of the church since its foundation. This book begs us all to answer the question: How much longer will we shut our ears to the voice of God heard in the cries of 'the least of these'?”
