Authority Abusers: Breaking Free from Spiritual Abuse

by George Bloomer

Church was never meant to hurt so much. The wounded and weak have been preyed upon. Hurting souls have been frightened into submission by leaders who use people to improve their own self-esteem and advance their careers. Tragically, this has all happened within the church where salvation, healing, freedom, and love should abound. In George Bloomer s wake-up call for the church, you will
God s true design for authority
Why people abuse authority
The effect of authority abuse in the home
How to recognize improper use of authority
God s restorative plan for the abused and the abuser.

Helpful, insightful. Gave a clear reason why people engage in abusive authority. However, too simplistic. Bloomer never addressed domestic abuse in any meaningful way. Never mentioned the idea of marital headship (authority) in the home and how often that is misunderstood and abused. Could have dealt with 1 Cor. 11 and Eph. 5, but didn't go within miles of it. A missed opportunity.

He did a better job addressing some church leadership issues. Overall, I would have preferred a more comprehensive scope.

Very revealing.
