God's Response to Clergy Abuse ("But Is He Good?" Starter Pack)
Clergy abuse is one of the most painful betrayals a person can experience—shattering trust, damaging faith, and raising deep spiritual questions. God's Response to Clergy Abuse takes a bold and compassionate look at this reality in light of scripture, uncovering how God truly responds to abuse within religious institutions and dismantling some of the particularly persistent lies about what God thinks of leaders who abuse his people—and what He expects from those who have the power to do something about it.
This book walks readers through the biblical story of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas (1 Samuel 2-4)—a historical account of clergy abuse that mirrors the crises we see in churches today. Rather than avoiding the difficult truths of scripture, But Is He Good? confronts the hard reality of clergy abuse, the cost of enabling abuse, and the justice of a God who refuses to let harm go unchecked—all in light of Jesus' Gospel.
