Does God really expect us to put up with a lifetime of abuse from the bullies, liars, manipulators, abusers and users we know, just because we were born into a toxic family or were deceived into befriending a narcissist who hid his true self from us at first? Christians often feel stuck in abusive relationships with narcissistic or psychopathic friends or family, either haunted by guilt or plagued by Holier-Than-Thous who think they have the right to judge us for finally getting away and staying away. In this book, you will learn about going No Contact from a biblical perspective. You will find effective, step-by-step strategies for deciding when it’s time to go No Contact, how to go No Contact, how to stay No Contact, how to deal with estranged friends and relatives, their Flying Monkeys, and even strangers who have the nerve to criticize you for going No Contact, how to resist attempts to Hoover you back in, and how to begin recovering from the loss of your relationship and healing from your abuse. Loaded with scriptural references that will support you and may even surprise you, The Christian’s Guide to No Contact will teach you that the Lord does not want his children to be in bondage to the wicked, and will help you to end unhealthy friendships and family relationships while staying true to what the Bible teaches. You will find everything a Christian needs to know about No Contact in one enlightening and accessible resource.

Christian??

They use scriptures out of context. If you know God for yourself, having a true relationship with Him, you know this doesn’t reflect the character of God. Being someone is no contact with abusive parents and family members, it’s not the strength to build resistance that one prays for. It’s for Gods grace, healing, and forgiveness. This book preaches the exact opposite.

really puts things into perspective from a biblical standpoint

This author does a great job at really analyzing the real biblical meanings behind common Christian tenants like "honor thy mother and father" and how this is weaponized by toxic and abusive people and doesn't actually mean quite what they preach it to mean. I'll let the author explain more in depth, she uses a lot of scripture to back her points. I recommend this book for any Christian person who is struggling with having to cut ties with abusive family members.
