When Narcissism Comes to Church

Healing Your Community From Emotional and Spiritual Abuse

ebook
1 of 2 copies available

Outreach Resource of the Year

Why Does Narcissism Seem to Thrive in Our Churches?

We've seen the news stories. Maybe we ourselves have been hurt by a narcissistic church leader. But what is narcissism, really? And how does it infiltrate the church?

Chuck DeGroat has been counseling pastors with narcissistic personality disorder, as well as those wounded by narcissistic leaders and systems, for over twenty years. He knows firsthand the devastation narcissism leaves in its wake and how insidious and painful it is. In When Narcissism Comes to Church, DeGroat

  • takes a close look at narcissism, not only in ministry leaders but also in church systems;
  • offers compassion and hope for those affected by its destructive power and;
  • imparts wise counsel for churches looking to heal from its systemic effects.
  • DeGroat also offers hope for narcissists themselves—not by any shortcut, but by the long, slow road of genuine recovery through repentance and trust in the gospel of Jesus.
