No! Not You, My Daddy! is a powerful exposé on the hidden dangers of pastoral manipulation, spiritual betrayal, and the abuse of power within religious institutions. Written with deep empathy and clarity, the book serves as both a guide and a voice for women who have found themselves trapped in situations where their trusted spiritual leaders crossed ethical and moral boundaries.


The book begins with a heartbreaking reality: many women admire their pastors as father figures, only to discover that these men harbor intentions far from holy. The betrayal is gradual, beginning with subtle grooming tactics—lingering glances, inappropriate compliments, emotional dependency, and spiritual manipulation—until the woman finds herself questioning her own reality. Through nine chapters, the book walks the reader through the entire process, from the initial discomfort of realizing something is wrong to the courage required to break free.


Chapter One, "No! Not You, My Daddy!", details the gut-wrenching moment when a woman realizes her pastor's behavior is not fatherly but predatory. The shock and emotional turmoil that follow are explored in depth, validating the reader's feelings of confusion, fear, and self-doubt. In Chapter Two, "Am I Imagining This?", the book highlights how manipulation often makes victims question their instincts, emphasizing the importance of trusting one's gut feelings.


The psychological and spiritual traps set by predatory pastors are unraveled in Chapter Three, "Why Do I Feel So Trapped?", where the author exposes mind games such as guilt-tripping, fear-based control, and false spiritual connections that keep women bound. Chapter Four, "How Do I Get Out?", provides a roadmap to breaking free—how to set boundaries, recognize manipulation tactics, and escape the cycle of abuse.


Healing from spiritual betrayal takes center stage in Chapter Five, "Healing from Spiritual Betrayal", where the book reassures survivors that God is not their abuser and that faith can be rebuilt outside toxic religious environments. The book then equips readers with tools to find a safe church in Chapter Six, "Finding a Church That Truly Honors God", distinguishing between healthy spiritual leadership and authoritarian control.


A major turning point in the book is Chapter Seven, "Helping Other Women Who Are Trapped", which encourages survivors to use their experiences to support and guide other women who may be in similar situations. The book then widens its focus in Chapter Eight, "Exposing the Culture That Enables Predatory Pastors", critiquing the systems within churches that protect abusers rather than victims, such as blind loyalty, the misuse of scripture, and fear-based teachings.


In the final chapter, "Restoring Your Confidence, Identity, and Purpose", the author empowers survivors to reclaim their worth, dismantle the lies that kept them in bondage, and move forward with strength and dignity. The book concludes with a heartfelt letter to women who still feel trapped, reminding them that they are not alone, they are not to blame, and they deserve a life free from fear and manipulation.


Through a mix of personal insight, biblical wisdom, and practical guidance, No! Not You, My Daddy! is a call to action for women to reclaim their spiritual autonomy, expose hidden abuses, and walk confidently into a future where they are no longer victims, but victors.
