| book description |

Christianity Today 2025 Book Award (Church/Pastoral Leadership) ""A heartbreaking but necessary book.""--Christianity Today Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg has come face to face with the crushing trauma of sexual abuse, trafficking, domestic abuse, and rape--and its cover-up. Even more tragic, she has encountered it all within Christian communities and the church. As a highly respected trauma scholar and psychologist working in the United States and around the world for more than 50 years, she envisions a better way. In When the Church Harms God's People, Langberg unveils what she has learned about how churches cause harm and why Christian communities often foster unhealthy leaders who end up hurting rather than protecting God's people. She also offers hope for the future, describing how churches can reflect Christ not just in what they teach but also in how they care for themselves and others. This book is an invaluable tool for leaders and laypeople alike who want to help the church resist abuses of power and become a safe place for survivors.
