In the wake of scandals involving high-profile Christian leaders in the UK, US and beyond, Perfectly Ordinary issues a timely warning about the dangers of pursuing 'spectacular' ministry. It uncovers how coercive, manipulative subcultures often thrive – and are even admired – because of their outward success, while ignoring the deeper harm they cause.
