Excellent- More about Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church
Power is a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways. This book offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates, the effects of the abuse of power, and how it can be redeemed and restored to its proper God-given place in relationships and institutions.

Power, a divinely bestowed essence, holds a profound significance in the intricate tapestry of human relationships and institutions. However, when wielded in unwholesome manners, it can succumb to abuse, tarnishing the very essence of its intended purpose. In the wake of the ongoing #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements, this book emerges as a timely and essential contribution to the ongoing discourse. It underscores the urgent need for the body of Christ to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various forms power assumes, the ways in which it is misused, and the appropriate responses to instances of power abuse. While many Christians ardently strive to prevent abuse within their churches and organizations, a profound lack of clarity regarding the intricacies of power undermines their efforts. Recognized internationally as a psychologist, Diane Langberg steps forward with a clinical and theological framework that illuminates the workings of power, the devastating consequences of its misuse, and the pathways toward redemption and restoration. This book serves as a valuable tool for Christian leaders, equipping them with the discernment to identify and confront abusive systems while also demonstrating how power can be harnessed to safeguard and protect the vulnerable among their midst. By delving into the complexities of power, this book empowers Christian leaders to navigate the treacherous waters of authority with wisdom, compassion, and a unwavering commitment to justice.
