Abusive Power: When Christians Hurt Other Christians (The Living Well Series)

All abuse, especially spiritual abuse, usually hides in plain sight. Behind positions of authority and trust, power can be misused in ways that wound, silence, and control—frequently without the victim even realizing what is happening. These patterns can affect entire churches, and they often impact the most vulnerable in deeply personal ways. This book shines a clear, honest light on the abuse of power within religious organizations. It helps readers recognize how authority can be distorted to elevate individuals or institutions at the expense of others—often quietly, subtly, and without consent. Inside, you’ll discover: How power-based abuse begins—and why it often goes unnoticed The warning signs of spiritual abuse in leaders and systems Why victims frequently feel confused, silenced, or powerless How unhealthy uses of authority damage identity, trust, and community A framework for recognizing and responding to these patterns Written with both clarity and compassion, this book equips readers to understand, identify, and confront abuse—bringing truth into places where silence has too often prevailed.
