When the Church Harms God's People

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This book is simultaneously one of the most convicting and yet comforting books I have ever read. With deep compassion and rich theology, Diane explores both the beauty of what Christ’s body is meant to be and the reality of what it often has become. For those who have suffered, it is validation of the depth of evil they experienced, coupled with the reassurance of who Jesus truly is for the vulnerable. For those who bear Christ’s name and especially those who lead his flock, it is a warning of a God who will defend the weak, alongside the glorious hope of what the church can be in a broken world. This is a book for every Christian, but it is also a book for anyone wounded in the name of Jesus or seeking to understand who Jesus is and what the church is designed to be.”
