Devotional Helps
Confessions and catechisms are a summary of what the Bible teaches. They are great resources for enlarging our understanding of the Bible, and for encouragement. The written prayers of others, both liturgical and informal, sometimes give us a way to pray when we aren't able to ourselves.

Other Resources Good stuff not directly related to Assembly issues. Some items are mentioned elsewhere on the website.

Using These Resources These resources can be a key to recovery, especially as you share and discuss them with others. As Dr. Enroth observes, the damage was done relationally, and much of the healing is also going to be relational. Help from a book or tape is dramatically amplified if you can talk about it with other survivors. An ideal discussion would include at least one ex-member of a Bible-based authoritarian group other than the Assembly.
