Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when misused. This book speaks to current #metoo and #churchtoo conversations and shows that the body of Christ desperately needs to understand the forms power takes, how power is abused, and how to respond to power abuses.
Although many Christians want to prevent abuse in their churches and organizations, they lack a deep and clear understanding of how power truly functions. Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates, the effects of power abuse, and how power can be redeemed and restored to its God-given place in relationships and institutions.
This book will not only help Christian leaders identify and resist abusive systems but also shows how they can use power to protect the vulnerable in their midst.
