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.

C.N. Abuse and abuse of authority in the church are far more prevalent than we realise. And the consequences are also far more devastating and far-reaching than we realise. Diane Langberg explains with great clarity what many of us have experienced but haven't been able to understand. Redeeming Power is clear, bold, and challenging. It offers Christians a much better understanding of the rot of abusive power in our leaders - the wolves in sheep's clothing. And it offers insight into what godly leadership looks like and how to encourage one another towards righteousness and gracious, servant leadership.
