181 Beth says, “I believe this week will be a supernatural turning point for all who take advantage of what they learn.” I wasn’t sure whether I should also include this under “revelation” or “other problems,” so I’m putting it here. (And it may well be that God never wanted her to do anything about it!)ħ.

It is her last statement that bothers me because she says dogmatically, “He wanted me to teach how to make freedom in Christ a reality in life from the passion of personal experience.” Beth CANNOT know this! Therefore, this becomes a de facto claim of direct revelation. I can agree from biblical principles that the first four items are highly likely, especially since Beth starts each statement correctly with, “He knew.” And God knew all the things would happen as she says they happened because God sees the future. P.102 Moore lists five reasons she believes God allowed her childhood abuse. “As God began stirring the tremendously heavy burden in my heart to write this study…” Who’s to say that this wasn't just her own emotions instead of God “stirring” her?Ħ.

Once I began to surrender to Him in this painful area, He began to give me a supernatural ability to forgive.” Besides the pop-psychology evident here, what is the evidence that God insisted Beth forgive her offender did He say something audible? Was there a sign given? And what is the evidence that she was given a “supernatural ability to forgive.” Again, did God reveal this to her audibly or with a sign?ĥ. God did not insist on my forgiving for the sake of my perpetrator but for the sake of peace in my life. “When I finally bent the knee to the Prince of Peace over hurts in my childhood, I realized He was directing me to forgive the person who hurt me. “The words He first gave me after I began walking the path to freedom still echo in my mind.” P.6Ĥ.

You will go forth and ring the liberty bell.’' p.6ģ. “God spoke to my heart and said something like this: ‘I sent my Son to set the captives free. “You see, the finished work that falls in your hands represents untold hours of intensity with God in which He first taught it in ‘long hand’ to me.” P.4Ģ. To point out every problem would be an arduous task! (She also has some pop-psychology that disturbs me.)Ĭlaims of Special Revelation: (I skimmed much of the book for these later, so I may have missed some)ġ. I’m not going to address every time Beth has poor or misleading teaching, rather I am going to concern myself only with poor use of Scripture, claims of special revelation, and eisegesis. Unfortunately, there will never be changes made so I have to recommend against the book if I am ever asked, unless it is used by very discerning Christians - or at least provide this information to them! If she could eliminate the claims of special revelations and correct her hermeneutics, this could be a valuable book for women. Let me say up front that I think Beth gives some very good advice in this book, but her credibility is denigrated by the problems she presents in her teachings. Let me say firstly that, even though it took a long time due to my not taking the time to just sit down, it is still a very cursory review which doesn't detail all the problems I found. I have been slowly reviewing the title book for the past few months and now I felt the need to post analysis of what I read.
