Contents:
The seat of Moses : the power to abuse -- Sniffing out the yeast of the pharisees -- heavy loads -- They do it for show -- Majoring on minors and missing the point -- Who gets hooked and why -- Healed by grace -- Healthy church leadership -- Healthy church discipline.
Subject: Many of us have gone through bad church experiences that have left us feeling like failures. Blaming ourselves, we asked for God's forgiveness, but still felt distant from the church and sometimes from God too. Often, however, the fault is not ours but that of Christian leaders who abuse spiritually. How can we recognize the signs of spiritual abuse? What can we do to gain healing from the wounds we have experienced? With clarity and refreshing honesty, Ken Blue answers these questions and offers hope and healing to the victims of spiritual abuse. In addition he shows Christian leaders how to avoid abusive patterns and instead offer Christ's gospel of grace to every casualty of bad church experiences.
