Jesus, Junkies & Abuse (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517278540)

Jesus, Junkies & Abuse is a book about elephants in the religious room; those damaging relational aspects of faith that are hastily excused, or embarrassingly brushed under the sacred carpet. Dylan Morrison tackles both the addictive aspects of God-fearing belief and the hidden spectrum of spiritual abuse that often lurk beneath the surface of otherwise 'respectable' faith groups. Part 1, 'Religious Junkies', is Morrison's somewhat humorous, yet highly perceptive look at the phenomenon of religious zealots, with practical tips on how to live with them. Part 2, 'Spiritual Abuse', the subliminal dynamic of desire contagion and its hidden role in birthing religious control is examined. Part 3, 'View From Beyond', is filled with Morrison's pithy observations and insights from outside the flock box of organised religion. Here, he outlines the various stages of healing for his fellow abuse victims, those damaged by their previous involvement in all things sacred. Reading this much needed survival guide for believer and non-believer alike, is to bring to light the cause of religious fanaticism and subconscious faith group control.
