Title: Surviving God: A New Vision of God through the Eyes of Sexual Abuse Survivors Author: Grace Ji-Sun Kim, Susan M. Shaw Narrator: Hannah Choi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 6 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Many books have dealt with sexual abuse scandals in the church and the role of pastoral care for survivors. Others have provided liberatory readings of biblical texts to support survivors of sexual violence. Surviving God takes a new approach, centering the voices of sexual abuse survivors while rethinking key Christian beliefs. Starting from experiences of oppression, beliefs that contribute to oppression are challenged, and new, hopeful, and healing beliefs take their place. Groundbreaking theologians Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Susan M. Shaw, each a survivor herself, demonstrate how traditional ways of thinking about God are highly problematic, contribute to the problems of sexual abuse, and are not reflective of the God of love and justice at the heart of the gospel. These long-held theologies often perpetuate the problem of sexual abuse and fail to promote healing for survivors. Drawing from their own experiences and the experiences of other survivors, and centering the ways gender intersects with race, sexuality, class, and religion, Kim and Shaw lead us to deep healing and a transformed church that no longer contributes to the devastation of sexual abuse. In this inspiring book, you will discover new ways of thinking about God that are surprising, challenging, and empowering.
