This post is devoted to introducing a new initiative to you called the True Woman Manifesto, written by Nancy Leigh DeMoss (think radio “Revive our Hearts”) .

When Religion Hurts Women- Yearning for Zion Ranch and Mars Hill Church
April 19th, 2008 by Jonalyn
I’ve noticed something about Christians’ response to the recent child custody case over Yearning for Zion Ranch (YFZ) read more. We don’t really know how to come down on all this.
