Bully Pulpit: Confronting the Problem of Spiritual Abuse in the Church

(Get ready for an abundance of literary and film references) This book addresses a needed topic of discussion and does so well on much of what it covers. Although I disagree with some of the author's biblical interpretations and conclusions on some items discussed, he tries to be consistent and faithful to the Word. Throughout the book the perspective and tone the author employs overly sides with the victim/ accuser as being assumed correct and accurate which is understandable based on the topic trying to be covered. Though I think it would have benefited from being more neutral. The book also does not spend enough time on how to address an accusation of abuse that is determined to be false and lends this work to being an available resource to justify wrong responses and accusations within the church. I'll reread this to confirm I didn't miss something but I pray that God use this to refine his people and avoid the malicious argumentation of our victim identity culture.
