Explora Books to Feature Award-Winning Author Judy Quan at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair

Explora Books will feature award-winning author Judy Quan at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (June 17-21) at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Quan's two powerful books navigate the complex intersections of faith, trauma, and equality. Her featured titles, Surviving Religious Abuse and The Christian Feminist, offer the global audience a roadmap for spiritual restoration and a bold re-examination of women's roles within a modern Christian context.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 8th May 2026 - The drive to produce these works stems from Quans personal history as a survivor of physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse. Her journey deepened when her daughter Ruth helped her recognize that the experiences she had described had a specific name: religious abuse. Compelled by a deep inner calling to share that journey, she became a leading voice for those whose sincerity has been weaponized by controlling religious organizations.

A retired nurse, paralegal, and hospital chaplain, Judy Quan has been a seasoned, award-winning writer since her middle school years. Her lifes work is defined by the servant leader model of discipleship--a mission focused on pointing others toward the Savior while providing practical tools for emotional and spiritual health. She has spent decades in lay ministry alongside her husband, Jeff Quan, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. Together, they served for ten years in Stephen Ministry, gaining the rigorous training necessary to accompany individuals through lifes greatest challenges with empathy and scriptural wisdom.

In Surviving Religious Abuse, Quan explores the hidden nature of spiritual manipulation that conceals itself behind a veil of sacred authority. This book provides a vulnerable look at Quans own escape from an abusive marriage and the indoctrination of a radical sect that claimed exclusive access to heaven. It also integrates clinical insights from Jeff Quan, LPC-S, who draws on his trauma therapy experience to introduce the Power/Control Cycle--a framework for understanding how survivors can reclaim personal agency in the present. Judys own recovery chapters guide readers through establishing healthy, God-given boundaries as a pathway from survival to thriving.

Challenging the notion that faith and feminism are opposed, The Christian Feminist presents a reasoned case for gender equality, firmly rooted in the life of Jesus. Quan highlights the better role chosen by Mary, the sister of Lazarus, whom Jesus praised for seeking spiritual teaching over traditional domestic duties. By showcasing biblical leaders such as the judge Deborah and Lydia--a seller of purple and a successful businesswoman who supported the early church and brought her household to faith in Christ--the work calls for a return to the simple gospel, stripped of the traditions of men that have been used to subordinate women.

Quan asserts that true Christianity is based on love and mutual respect, rather than human power struggles or the jockeying for superior positions. She maintains that feminism is not about the hatred of men, but about honoring the equal but different values of all individuals. Her vision promotes a home and church organized around mutual submission, where no class of individuals is endowed with privileged status based solely on anatomy. There is neither male nor female . . . for you are all one in Christ (Gal. 3:28, NIV).

Attendees of the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to visit the Explora Books exhibit to explore these transformative works. Surviving Religious Abuse and The Christian Feminist are available on Amazon.
