Prey Tell: Why We Silence Women Who Tell the Truth and How Everyone Can Speak Up Paperback - 2021

From the rear cover

"Silence is not spiritual, and action is not optional"

Prey Tell explores the dynamics of power and lack of accountability that occur within many organizational contexts and encourages women and men to speak out in the face of unjust systems.

"A devastating look at how culture, theology, and economics combine to uphold abusers and to silence those who try to speak the truth in our day and age. Tiffany Bluhm lays out all the ways it costs women to speak up, inviting us into the terror of this situation while also asking us to grapple with our own role in enabling this cycle to continue. A must-read--a truly difficult read--for anyone who longs to see justice upheld in our world."
--D. L. Mayfield, author of The Myth of the American Dream: Reflections on Affluence, Autonomy, Safety, and Power

"Bluhm leads the way by doing with this book what we all need to do--break the silence, tell the truth, believe women, protect the survivors, and end sexualized violence against girls and women."
--Hillary McBride, psychologist, author, speaker, and podcaster

"Bluhm bravely paints a poignant picture of the damage of unchecked misogyny both within and outside the church. I am so grateful for the role this book will play in our collective fight for justice, restoration, and dignity."
--Liz Forkin Bohannon, CEO of Sseko Designs; author of Beginner's Pluck: Build Your Life of Purpose and Impact Now

"An absolute must-read book for our age, breathing courage into survivor and ally alike--reminding the world that silence is not spiritual, and action is not optional."
--Belinda J. Bauman, author of Brave Souls: Experiencing the Audacious Power of Empathy; cofounder of #SilenceIsNotSpiritual

"Prey Tell offers an urgent word to followers of Jesus, challenging the church to believe women and form cultures that protect the vulnerable, advocate for victims, and practice transparency. If you care about the church's culture and witness, buy Prey Tell in bulk."
--Bryan Halferty, lead pastor of Anchor Church, Tacoma, Washington
