Book Details
It is my church; the pastor said, “So you must leave now!”
There comes a point in time when truth about issues gives way to freedom of the mind. The issues are only compounded when coupled with that of institutional strongholds that are placed upon the Christian, church attendees, by the pastor. This occurs when he or she asserts authority wrongfully upon people in the local church body. This leads to strongholds of certain pastoral thoughts that ultimately force people and those who are in the Church down a road that was never designed for them. This book, “Excuse Me Pastor, I Don’t Want Your Church!” deals with issues such as: • Financial Molestation • Greed & Power • Intimidation • Issues of the less fortunate • Those who are homosexual • Mentally bankrupt Christians • Lack of love that some pastors are not showing to their members All the stories in this book are real and backed by Biblical truths to see how we as a body of believers can find common ground to alleviate these maladies in the future.
