  • Homeschooling, large families, Biblical womanhood, and quiverfull - they are all part of the Christian patriarchy movement, which promises parents a legacy of godly children if they adhere to specific Biblical principles. But what happens when families who abandon 'the world' for 'the Biblical home' leave hearts behind, too? For many wives and daughters, the Christian home is not always a safe place. Scripture is used to manipulate. God is used as a weapon. And through spiritual and emotional abuse, women who become 'the least of these' within Biblical patriarchy experience deep wounds that only God can heal. But if living 'God's way' caused this pain, why should they trust Him to heal it?

    Written by the firstborn in a homeschooling family of eleven children, quivering daughters examines the fruits of authoritarian religious families -- and shows women the real way home to grace and love in God.
