Author and blogger Sheila Gregoire is a Christian who has been sounding the whistle against the conservative books promoted by the group Focus on the Family. When we first wrote about her last summer, she was condemning a book that told women whose partners cheated on them to look at their own flaws.
Now she’s urging Focus on the Family to stop promoting the book Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, which they give away to donors. It’s not just that the book promotes stereotypical gender roles (although that is problematic); it also enables abuse, with plenty of victim-blaming to go around.
