"How could he?" "Doesn't he know me?" "Did I do something wrong?" "Where is God in all this?" Workplace abuse by a senior pastor (or other Christian employer) robs its victims of joy, overwhelms them with grief, and requires healing. If you've been devastated by a trusted Christian leader, you are not alone. Many (including author John Setser, D.Min.) have walked down this difficult road. While sharing their stories, "Broken Hearts, Shattered Trust: Workplace Abuse of Staff in the Church" identifies the warning signs of a wounding agent, examines the trauma he causes, and explores six types of loss for the wounded individual. These losses include relational, material, intrapsychic, functional, role, and systemic catastrophes. Most importantly, this book offers practical suggestions to assist with recovery from the ordeal.
