Bøker av Andrew Mettle

The pews have long been seen as the quiet and submissive part of the traditional church. However, when Christianity becomes abusive and cultish, the pews must become a place of protest. Poetry was my form of protest. This book is a collection of poems that I wrote after leaving the abusive and cultish church that I attended for years. This poetry collection is meant to raise awareness of the abuse taking place in Christian cults and to help victims through their struggle. This collection of poetry includes the following poems.Lord, LordChristian CartelShelterWho Is The Father?Under CoverSunday's Last CharadeTyrantLadder Of PrideDonkey DisconnectActionKing Of CharismaTwisterPulpiteerMoney TablesLittle OnesLone RangerInside OutHard To FindLike Judas360Years In ArabiaYou Resurrect MeYou Give Me LifeWalking AwayGutBridgesReverendBad ApplesFrom The PewsPages

Pulpiteer is about my experience under an abusive and manipulative church leader. Like a skilled puppeteer, he worked the strings of his puppets to make them move and talk at his command. I used to think that all churches were safe organizations to be a part of. This book tells the story of how I found out that I was wrong. I learned that even Christian churches can become cults. I also learned how important it is to have a discerning mind in order to put preachers and their messages to the test. The false teachings and movements that I was subject to will be exposed throughout this book. These include the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), the Shepherding movement, the Word of Faith movement, the Prosperity Gospel, Tithing, and false Spiritual Warfare. Other topics include Narcissistic Church Leaders, False Teachers, and the religious system of "Churchianity".
