About this listen

Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways. Speaking into current #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations, this book shows that the body of Christ desperately needs to understand the forms power takes, how it is abused, and how to respond to abuses of power.

Although many Christians want to prevent abuse in their churches and organizations, they lack a deep and clear-eyed understanding of how power actually works. Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates, the effects of the abuse of power, and how power can be redeemed and restored to its proper God-given place in relationships and institutions. This book not only helps Christian leaders identify and resist abusive systems, but also shows how they can use power to protect the vulnerable in their midst.

This book is not a great book because I liked or disliked it - any of it - but because through it the Lord arrested me, exposed my own deep sinfulness and blindness, challenged me.

I’ll now buy this hard copy and re-read, in the mean time I will re-listen to it.

The church in the uk is, unbeknown to itself, crying out for this book which, ultimately brings us back to Jesus.

I knew my own walk with the Lord was not as it ought to be, I guess we perhaps all feel like that, but I had no idea I was so, so far from God and in need of repentance.

Read it. Read it and the. Read it. Then give it away to another leader.

#1 recommendation for all church / mission / Christian organisation leaders
