The Hijacked Conscience

 Debi Peck's book The Hijacked Conscience is now available on Amazon (here in the UK, here in the US and here in Australia, but it looks expensive in Australia so may be imported and a few days behind US Amazon; Kindle is reasonably priced and immediately accessible). There's a good chunk to read on "Look Inside" if you want to check it out.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book. As with all neurological and psychological phenomena, there are full-blown (florid) conditions and then there are tendencies. My intuitive mind suggests to me that anyone rooted in a religious faith community is likely to be affected by and familiar with what Debi is describing in The Hijacked Conscience, even if they have no sense of being limited or hampered by it. 

It should be recommended reading for all pastors in training and any lay person with a responsibility for pastor oversight within the faith community. It's an eye-opening read.

The Hijacked Conscience is published by SacraSage Press. Once you get to know Debi as you read her book, it will come as no surprise to you if I say she was very thorough, cautious, discerning and responsible in finding a publisher she trusted with her work. Dr Tom Oord is the man behind SacraSage, an honest and courageous theologian who has stood firm against considerable discouragement and opposition from fellow churchmen who did not share his views — so SacraSage is honourably motivated by a sense of mission, offering a platform to thinkers whose voice might otherwise go unheard; it's not just one more commercial product mill for the Christian marketplace. 

Only very rarely do I recommend a book, but this particular writer is one I think you would to well to read. Hers is a voice and a story worth hearing.
