**Stop Letting Twisted Scripture Shut You Down and Protect Your Abuser**

Have you been told that speaking about abuse is gossip? That your anger is always sin? That showing emotion means you lack faith?Abusers and abuse enablers have turned Bible passages about gossip, slander, and bearing false witness into tools that protect perpetrators while silencing victims.

Using twisted Scriptures, they've condemned your anger, dismissed your fear, and demanded you suppress every emotion that alerts you to danger.

But these interpretations aren't biblical—they're abusive.

In Your Words Your Emotions, Rebecca Davis exposes the systematic Scripture-twisting used to gag abuse survivors and shut down their emotions.

With meticulous biblical scholarship and trauma-informed insight, she examines every verse weaponized against those who speak truth, then shows you what these passages actually mean in context.

You'll discover:

• The true Biblical meanings of gossip, slander, and bearing false witness.
• Why "gracious words only" is manipulation and what Ephesians 4:29 is really all about.
• The truth about the "too negative" label: learn from the examples of the prophets, psalmists, and Jesus Himself.
• Why your emotions aren't inferior to reason and how emotions are displayed in Scripture.
• The truth about anger and how you can tell whether yours is righteous or unrighteous.
• All the kinds of fear in the Bible and what "fear not" actually means.

And much more.

You don't have to choose between honoring God and protecting yourself.

You don't have to suppress your emotions to be spiritual. You don't have to stay silent to be godly. The truth will set you free—and this book will show you what that truth is.

Scriptures can be untwisted.

You can rise up from spiritual abuse and walk in the freedom of Christ.
