Dr. Diane Langberg, a licensed psychologist, offers sympathetic and realistic answers to fourteen questions from pastors' wives, questions that are often asked. In answering the questions Dr. Langberg addresses not only the particular women who asked them, but also those who are looking in over the shoulders of these women. Some of the answers are simpler than others. All of the answers require acts of faith, renewed patience, and wisdom that must come from God. With these divine resources come healing and possible solutions. Counsel for Pastors' Wives is a good prescription for people who want to be helped and healed and for people who want to help the healing. It is not merely for pastor's wives, it is for concerned laypeople as well.

El poder tiene un rol dado por Dios en las relaciones humanas e instituciones, pero puede llevar al abuso cuando se usa de manera incorrecta. Este libro habla a las conversaciones actuales #yo también y #la iglesia también y muestra que el cuerpo de Cristo necesita desesperadamente entender las formas que toma el poder, cómo el poder es abusado y cómo responder a los abusos de poder. A pesar de que muchos cristianos quieren prevenir el abuso en sus iglesias y organizaciones, les falta un entendimiento profundo y claro de cómo funciona realmente el poder. La psicóloga internacionalmente reconocida Diane Langberg ofrece un marco clínico y teológico para entender cómo opera el poder, los efectos del abuso de poder y cómo el poder puede ser redimido y restaurado a su lugar dado por Dios en las relaciones e instituciones. Este libro no solamente ayudará a los líderes cristianos a identificar y resistir los sistemas abusivos, sino que también muestra cómo pueden usar el poder para proteger a los vulnerables en medio de ellos. Redeeming Power Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways. Speaking into current #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations, this book shows that the body of Christ desperately needs to understand the forms power takes, how it is abused, and how to respond to abuses of power. Although many Christians want to prevent abuse in their churches and organizations, they lack a deep and clear-eyed understanding of how power actually works. Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates, the effects of the abuse of power, and how power can be redeemed and restored to its proper God-given place in relationships and institutions. This book not only helps Christian leaders identify and resist abusive systems but also shows how they can use power to protect the vulnerable in their midst.

Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church

From the Back Cover\n"Bold. Challenging. Christ-exalting."\nRedeeming Power shows that the body of Christ desperately needs to understand the forms power takes, how it is abused, and how to respond to abuses of power.\n"This book is one of the most important works for a pastor, or anyone in a position of authority, to dwell on. Langberg's work laying out the relationship between power and abuse and contrasting it with how power is exercised in the person and work of Christ is foundational for any leader or ministry desiring to reflect the gospel. This book is a must-read for spiritual leaders and for every Christian as we seek to exhort each other to righteousness and use redemptively whatever authority we have in our own spheres." 
--Rachael Denhollander, speaker, victim advocate, and attorney; author of What Is a Girl Worth?\n"You will need to read this book with a highlighter and a box of tissues nearby. Redeeming Power is essential reading for every leader and anyone who wishes to use what power they have to bless and heal in a world that so often curses and wounds." 
--Jemar Tisby, New York Times bestselling author of The Color of Compromise\n"Redeeming Power should be on the must-read list of every pastor, leader, boss, coach, parent, and educator--anyone interested in learning how to use power to bless, not curse. I believe what Langberg has written could change the world if properly applied, because it is straight from the heart of our compassionate God." 
--Kay Warren, cofounder, Saddleback Church\n"Vintage Diane Langberg! Bold. Challenging. Christ-exalting. Langberg is a strong advocate and voice for the vulnerable and voiceless."
