Harrison Roberts, like most of us, is good at hiding things, especially from himself. At six years old, still hurting from his father's abandonment, he is left in the care of a Monster who does the unthinkable, then threatens death if he ever reveals the truth. Harrison turns to Jesus for protection from his fears, real and imagined. As he grows, Jesus's voice drowns out the Monster's old threats. A new life emerges: one of love, music and ministry. For a while, Harrison buries the darkest demons from his traumatic past-the ones only God knows about. But when the blessings stop flowing and catastrophe strikes, Harrison spirals into an emotional crisis, questioning his sanity, mortality and his God. He must now navigate the threats from a new Monster: his own faith. What will he risk losing in order to know the truth and become who he is meant to be? On Monsters and Phantoms lifts the veil on a life forged by trauma, which sculpted a man into the image of someone not himself. A bold and honest look into adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and religious trauma, it peers into the soul of Christian fundamentalism, challenging you to question everything, and daring you to seek the answers.
