Calling Churches to Reflect the Love and Care of Christ Internationally recognized psychologist and trauma scholar Diane Langberg has come face to face with the crushing trauma of sexual abuse, trafficking, domestic abuse, and rape--and its cover-up. Tragically, she has encountered it all within Christian communities and the church. In When the Church Harms God's People, Langberg diagnoses how Christian communities too often mimic worldly institutions and end up harming people; she then issues a call to the church to love and serve those in their care. "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." --Rachael Denhollander, speaker, author, and victim advocate "As one of the foremost psychologists of our time, Langberg unpacks how the church can once again reflect the true beauty and character of Jesus: the preeminent good shepherd. A must-read book for both the sheep and the shepherds who guide them." --Boz Tchividjian, attorney for abuse victims and founder of GRACE "Langberg never fails to stir my heart toward greater Christlikeness!" --Kay Warren, cofounder, Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, California "If you are tired of seeing persons and systems use the name of Jesus Christ to prey on the vulnerable, this book will help you fight for a different future." --Russell Moore, editor in chief, Christianity Today
