The Paradox of Power
by Michael H. Crosby
Moving from Control to Compassion in a Violent World
For most of us living in a country like the United States, issues related to the negative use of power, such as control or repression, have come to define our way of being. This is also true for people living in faith communities. But power is more than a force preventing us from doing something. It's also a force for creativity and wisdom--a force that Christians should desire for themselves, their families, and their communities. In this book, Michael Crosby helps us understand this forgotten side of power. By drawing from real-life examples as well as theory, the author shows us how the creative energy of power can heal and construct healthy relationships, marriages, and families, as well as successful organizations such as corporations, churches, and even nations.
For reasons of space three chapters were omitted from the book (on War, Hate and Indifference) as well as an Index of the book itself, including these three chapters. To access these, please visit the "Spirituality" section of the website.
