A Thousand Tiny Paper Cuts
A lexicon for survivors, capturing the experience of spiritual abuse while providing hope for life on the other side.
“[Spearing] is eloquent and precise in her critiques of high-control Christianity.”
“Katherine gives language to the invisible wounds and fractured identities left behind by high-control religion. And she does so with a rare mix of wit, honesty, and tenderness. This book is not simply a memoir. It is a mirror, a map, and a companion.” —Dr. Laura Anderson
This book is for…
Devin
Who lost his faith after being bullied in youth group while the leaders looked the other way.
Stephanie
Who found the spiritual abuse she experienced from church leadership to be far worse than the sexual abuse she experienced from the pastor.
Amy
Who is trying to parent her children without the influence of high-control religion while navigating decades of religious trauma and extended family who don’t understand how she could walk away from the church.
“A roadmap for any and all on their journey towards healing.”
Connie A Baker MA LPC
“A Thousand Tiny Paper Cuts provides manna for the journey toward a life unbounded.”
“An incredibly valuable resource for survivors and for those who love them.”
“A Thousand Tiny Paper Cuts lays bare the thin, often invisible line between growing up in a cult and simply being raised "a devout Christian" in America.”
“With practical wisdom, it illuminates the path to healing and empowerment, offering hope and wisdom for those reclaiming their lives from coercive control.”
“Katherine Spearing writes with clarity, compassion, intellect and strength—offering not just understanding, but hope.”
“For all its probing of white evangelicalism's dark heart, this is a soulful book.”
“Katherine is a bold model for anyone who dares to be whole after being diminished by patriarchy.”
“Spearing leaves no stone unturned as she provides grace and hope to all who are healing.”
“The lexicon that Katherine Spearing offers is an important first step for healing.”
“Katherine Spearing is an impressive presence in this field.”
“I loved reading how Katherine had to forge her own path around relationships and sexuality, after realizing that the Church's strict teachings just didn't work for her. Deconstructing your faith is one thing, deconstructing your sexuality is quite another!”
