Spiritual abuse devastates its victims perhaps more than any other form of violation, because it targets those who are most unprepared and vulnerable. In "Toxic Churches", Marc Dupont reaches out to those who have given their time, money and talents to the Body of Christ, only to find themselves hurting, frustrated and confused. He also writes to Christian leaders who may have inadvertently hurt the flock of God entrusted to their care. With care and tenderness, Dupont offers help and hope to those caught in abusive situations - people who might even be blaming themselves. He provides a healing balm to those with residual pain from past abuse. And he warns those engaging in abusive behaviour, flagging telltale signs or warped and broken patterns. Those who have been used or abused by church leaders will find a deeper understanding of God's healing grace - both for themselves and for those who hurt them.
