In her latest book, “All My Knotted-up Life: A Memoir,” author and Bible teacher Beth Moore delivers a compelling self-portrait filled with unexpected twists and turns with the final destination being God’s enduring love and faithfulness.
CBN News sat down with the prominent Christian leader at her Living Proof ministry headquarters in Houston, Texas. The interview came just days after the sudden loss of her brother Wayne, who appears on the cover of her new book along with her other siblings.
“I just looked up to him, and just loved him so, so much,” Moore said during the interview. “We are reeling. But I had gotten him an advance copy of the memoir and it just moved me so much to know that he got to see himself through my eyes in those pages.”
The title All My Knotted-up Life parallels Moore’s difficult childhood in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
“Why did you feel the need to be so vulnerable and so open about some issues?” CBN News asked her.
“What I have said before is I always try to be transparent in what I shared, but I just get to be a little more specific this time around,” Moore explained.
Over the years Moore has often talked about surviving childhood sexual abuse. But for the first time she reveals her father as her abuser.
“I’m not sure anything impacts your life more than your protector being your perpetrator,” she said. “In other words, my father was the person on earth that I could trust the least. My home was not safe.”
