Spiritual anxiety, often the outcome of various forms of spiritual abuse and manipulation perpetuated by certain religious institutions, has become widespread among Christians. In her new book, Holy Ghosted: Spiritual Anxiety, Religious Trauma, and the Language of Abuse, Tiffany Yecke Brooks equips readers with how to identify these tactics, and offers pathways towards healing by inviting people to listen to the God who resides within.
