About this listen

I was gripped by moments of terror where I feared that God was the ultimate abuser - ever demanding, all powerful, and never satisfied with my imperfect faith. My abuse was my penance for my lack of faith. And every testimony I heard about a woman who prayed for her marriage and that it was healed was further evidence that I was doing something wrong.

The Masked Dance is a candid personal reflection on the psychological, religious, and cultural influences at the core of domestic violence. Monica vividly conveys her spiritual battle against the entanglements of the abuse cycle while unveiling the latent messages that cultivate emotional and physical violence against women. This book opens urgently needed conversations about Christian culture and what its hidden messages say about the value of a woman’s soul versus the value of her marriage.
