From the Back Cover What happens when authority is abused?Imagine our nation without police officersImagine our lives without the protection of the badge.Imagine traveling without stop signs, traffic signals, and roadside warnings.Imagine no violations, no punishments--a grade school playground without rules, a government without leaders...You might as well imagine the earth without gravity, because without authority, there would be chaos.But what happens when authority is misused? Or worse, what happens when spiritual abuse is written off as "authority"?As surely as the absence of authority produces chaos, the abuse of authority produces destruction. Countless people have fallen victim to the manipulation of power and authority. Lives have been warped forever, marriages have been destroyed, women and children have been abused, and husbands and fathers undermined within the boundaries of their home. Also, tragically, it's inside the church--where salvation, healing, freedom, and love should abound--that some of the worst authority abuse takes place. God's design for authority has been misunderstood, twisted, and manipulated, leaving innocent people as victims and prisoners of controlling, abusive situations. The wounded and weak have been preyed upon, and the guilty have been frightened into submission by leaders who use people to improve their own self-esteem or advance their careers.Wake up!!! This is not God's design for the church--or authority.In this book, Bishop George Bloomer discusses: Gods true design for authorityWhy people abuse authorityThe effects of authority abuse in the homeHow to recognize an authority abuserGod's restoration plan for the abused and the abuserAndThe key to breaking freefrom the bondage of spiritual abuse.

Should be required reading for all Christians, esp.church leaders.
Bishop Bloomer's book AUTHORITY ABUSERS shed so much light on a very troubling situation my husband and I found ourselves in at our former church. We had been members and leaders there for thirty years, but when we discreetly approached the pastor and his wife about some serious errors in some of their decisions, they responded with vicious accusations and a smear campaign against us. We were beyond stunned and hurt. Bishop Bloomer's wisdom helped us to recognize that we had become victims of authority abuse, and how to remain strong and prayerful in the midst of the attack. Needless to say, we are no longer under that abusive leadership and Bishop's book even includes advice on how to heal and recover from the effects of such mistreatment so we don't drag that sorry baggage to our next church home.I recommend AUTHORITY ABUSERS as required reading for all Christians, especially those in leadership positions.

Authority Abusers Purchase
This book did not disappoint. I purchased it because I suspected that I was experiencing abuse so I needed knowledge to confirm this and wisdom on how to deal with it. Bishop George Bloomer was very candid about his personal experiences which gave credence to the content of this book. It also touched on the Jezebel spirit which I found to be quite helpful. This book initiated my search to acquire information to assist me personally and professionally to deal with leaders who abuse their authority and encouraged me to ensure that I do not become abusive. It also stressed that we must stay in position because only God can break the power of an abuser.
