Featured Author: Tiffany Yecke Brooks

Tiffany Yecke Brooks is the lead or contributing writer on more than two dozen books, including multiple New York Times best sellers. She is the coauthor of Fear Is a Choice: Tackling Life's Challenges with Dignity, Faith, and Determination (with NFL running back James Conner), Limitless: The Power of Hope and Resilience to Overcome Circumstance (with Paralympic gold-medalist Mallory Weggemann), and the narrative nonfiction historical thriller, Espionage and Enslavement in the Revolution: The True Story of Robert Townsend and Elizabeth (with historian Claire Bellerjeau).
She holds a PhD from Florida State University, where her dissertation covered, in part, cultural adaptations of stories from the book of Genesis. Her new book with Eerdmans, Gaslighted by God, offers real stories and hope for those with a disillusioned faith that runs counter to lived experience.
   Gaslighted by God is not a book of easy answersit’s a companion for those mourning the loss of a belief system who need their pain recognized and legitimized. Tiffany Yecke Brooks showsthrough stories from her own life, conversations with Christians from a variety of backgrounds, historical anecdotes, and messy episodes from Scripturethat there can be faith after disillusionment. But it will be a different faithbruised, battered, nuanced, and real, rather than one wrapped in tissue-thin platitudes and three-point sermons. It will be a faith empowered to see beyond who God “should” be to who God is.
A popular speaker for student groups, faith conferences, and academic lectureships, Brooks has taught literature and writing at Abilene Christian University, McMurry University, and the University of South Carolina Beaufort. To connect with Brooks and browse her other books, visit her website.
