Looking at spiritual abuse through the lenses of psychology and theology, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Focusing on the theology of grace and freedom, on the redeeming power of the cross, and on the psychological aspects of healing allows the reader to rethink healthy spiritual accompaniment and to delve deeper into supporting victims.
