So Eddie Eggerichs has come a long way from bullying the younger and smaller kids back in Peoria, IL. He seems to have bullshitted his way up.

Has Love and Respect made issues in your marriage worse? It has for many women. In fact, Love and Respect have been used by abusers and their pastors to “put women in their place”. Sheila Wray Gregoire, of Bare Marriage (formerly To Love, Honor, and Vacuum) surveyed 20,000 evangelical Christian women and discovered the real impact of Emerson Eggerich’s book.

You can also find the book Sheila and her team wrote explaining the data they gathered in light of the heart of God for marriage. Can’t recommend it enough!

I was a member of Pastor Emmerson’s church in East Lansing, Michigan. It has been many years since we last met. I would like to inquire how I might connect with Pastor Emmerson and his wife Sarah. I do not have his address or contact.
