Joining the discussion are Dr. Merry Lin, an insightful author and commentator on marriage and gender dynamics, Sarah McDugal, an advocate for women healing from betrayal trauma, and Joanna Sawatsky, a critique of Christian fiction's roles and narratives. They dissect the troubling messages in Francine Rivers' 'And the Shofar Blew,' highlighting how the book encourages abuse victims to endure suffering and propagates harmful gender roles. The panel also explores how fictional narratives shape women's perceptions of faith, marriage, and their worth, often reinforcing toxic dynamics instead of promoting justice.
