Description
by Katherine Spearing (Author)
"Believers who've been harmed by church communities will find strength and understanding." -Publishers Weekly
"Katherine Spearing is an important voice on the issue of spiritual abuse in the American evangelical church." -Cait West, author of Rift: A Memoir of Breaking Away from Christian Patriarchy
A Thousand Tiny Paper Cuts is an arresting dive beneath the glossy surface of American evangelicalism, exposing the often-invisible trauma of spiritual abuse. Drawing on her upbringing in the Christian Patriarchy Movement, her former role as a ministry leader, and the work of her nonprofit Tears of Eden, Katherine Spearing offers an unflinching look at the wounds that religious institutions cause, and helps you name and understand those wounds.
The book's title evokes the nature of these injuries: small, subtle, and nefarious cuts that bleed out over time. With helpful insights and a voice both tender and fierce, Spearing unpacks the power imbalances, spiritual gaslighting, and the silent corrosion of autonomy under abusive systems. She writes about how leaders collect followers like trophies, how to replace bad traumaversaries with good ones, and how creativity is life-giving.
Essential reading for anyone deconstructing harmful faith or supporting survivors, A Thousand Tiny Paper Cuts exposes what happens when spirituality is used as a weapon and shows the maturity it takes to walk away. With moments of wit, clarity, and compassion, this survivor-centered narrative doesn't just name the abuse; it helps you dare to imagine a life moving forward.
