Freedom

Ken Blue has written a book that offers more than his usual biblical, practical, lived-out content. He offers a paradigm-shift in grasping the importance Jesus attached to spiritual abuse. Ken explains biblical spiritual authority in a way that empowers church members to identify and submit to true authority while discerning and rejecting false authority. Besides being a PK, over the past 20 years I've worked closely with several pastors whose character needs resulted in them committing regular spiritual abuse ranging from mild to severe. Ken offers genuine hope for true forgiveness, freedom and healing. I highly recommend this book.

Genuine Spiritual Leadership: What it looks like.

This book is not perfect.

That said, I do recommend it especially to those struggling with abuse in their local church. I think that is the target audience.

For me, the most useful part of the book is where the author speaks plainly of what real spiritual leadership looks like. You know, people, there may be a reason why Jesus' last "lesson" for his disciples, on the night before he died, involved taking a towel and cloth and washing their feet.

The author reiterates this when he exposes the truth that the more likely a leader in a church looks like a servant--indeed like the slave in charge of washing guests' feet-- the more right he or she has to be followed.

Do your church's leaders meet this standard?

Helpful for people coming out of a bad religious experience.

The authors of this book discuss ways to help people who have been spiritually abused by others.
Church leaders, regular church members, and anyone involved in ministry should find this book to be very useful. Spiritual abuse doesn't just happen in strange "cult" groups. It can happen within otherwise normal churches if the environment is right for it to occur.
