Romance Scam Survivor: The Whole Sordid Story"How could you give money to someone you've never met?" That's the first question most people ask. For Jan Marshall, life was good.

"How could you give money to someone you've never met?"

That's the first question most people ask.

For Jan Marshall, life was good. She had worked hard, set herself up well, and was looking for a companion to share her future with. Just as countless thousands around the world do, every day, she turned to online dating.

In just a few months, Jan believed she was 'in love'. She accepted a proposal of marriage, and then sent money - ALL her money - to a professional scammer.

How did it happen? How can an intelligent person be so thoroughly scammed?

Jan courageously shares the details of her devastating experience, in order to help others recognise such devious swindlers who prey on trusting souls, and maybe even to catch this thief.

You might think it can't happen to you, or someone you love, but can you be sure?

The work is a non-fiction account and memoir covering the communication between myself and the scammer, based on my records of our communications. By sharing the personal and intimate nature of the interactions it asks the reader to put themselves in my shoes, and in response the question "how could you be so stupid?" is answered. It details the process of dealing emotionally with the scam and the financial difficulties that I found myself in afterwards. It is a story of my process through being a victim to becoming a survivor. Areas that need change are also addressed. Some support resources and links are also provided, though this is not the main purpose.

"Jan Marshall is a vital voice in the discourse on romance fraud." Dr Cassandra Cross, Cyber Frauds, Scams and their Victims.

Short, shot in the Arm
Format: Kindle
While not extensive, Powlison's, "The Pastor as Counselor," didn't need to be. In all likelihood, a pastor trying to exercise his office such that he would pick up a book like this doesn't have a lot of time for extended works, so this little booklet is a good B-12 shot in the heart reminder to what pastors are and what we're called to do: counsel. It's worth the thirty minutes or so, for your sake and your people's.

Dangerously deluded ideas about mental health
Format: Paperback
This book wants to convince the reader (presumably a pastor or religious leader of some variation) that as a christian they possess special powers that are the only true way to help people struggling with life, mental health, meaning, etc.. It repeatedly attacks mental health professionals as being incapable of addressing the real problems people face, while reinforcing pastors with the deluded belief that they alone hold the answers that others need in a counseling situation. Never mind that some of these mental health professionals he disparages have spent 4, 8, even 12+ years studying their subjects to become experts capable of giving the best possible, science-based mental health support. It suggests that you, as the reader, with a theology degree (perhaps not even that, maybe you are simply a volunteer in a church youth group or other church program) hold greater qualifications to address the real problems people are facing. Trying to setup a dichotomy of "christian counseling" vs "secular mental health professionals" also neglects the fact that many of these "secular professionals" are believing christians themselves, who know there is a time and place for everything and injecting religion isn't always the appropriate response. Of course many pastors & religious leaders have genuinely helped people's lives and well being (in addition to many who are doing the opposite..) But to suggest that the real professionals who devote their lives to these subjects have nothing of value to offer people struggling, while simultaneously empowering the reader with the idea that they possess some secret knowledge despite having no expertise, is a dangerous precedent. A more balanced approach might say that religious leaders of all stripes can have a role to play in counseling & mental health, while also having the humility to realize the limitations of being a non-expert. At the same time there are experts who also have a place in helping people with these issues, and it doesn't need to be some sort of competition as he frames it. People of all religions, cultures, and backgrounds have benefitted from both a scientific approach the author attempts to criticize, and from the christian centered approach he endorses.

This is a great book on discipleship!
Format: Paperback
"Mapping Discipleship" offers readers heart-provoking questions that enable them to perform a self-assessment in each chapter. While I was reading this, I was continuously challenged by the simple Biblical truths and purposeful questions that revealed my heart. Charlie Carter's book works as a compass and a map (in a spiritual sense) that will have you ask yourself: "Where am I at in my spiritual life? What is my current direction? Am I yielding to the Holy Spirit, or am I trying to figure it out on my own?" Carter's book is practical and applicable to everyday life. When you read this book, it's as if Carter were discipling you in a one-on-one setting in a personable yet gentle manner with the hope of encouraging you to disciple others upon completing the 12-chapter session. This book is one that I will go back to regularly!
