The Christian Narcissist: How to Recognize This Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

by Brian Howard

Unsuspecting Christian sheep are often lured into devastating relationships by the "Christian" narcissist. The days are over when we can assume Christians to be considerate, kind, or safe. We must look for red flags in Christians and non-Christians alike.
The church is full of wonderful people but sadly con artists too. This book exposes those wolves and equips the sheep to protect themselves.

Having now experienced two churches led by narcissistic pastors, I found “The Christian Narcissist” and “Bully Pulpit” by Kruger to be invaluable resources. These books helped me articulate what I was witnessing, offered sympathy for the pastors, while still emphasizing the crucial need for accountability. They also provided healing, not just for my own experiences, but for the extended suffering I saw others endure. I highly recommend reading both, as “The Christian Narcissist” alone doesn’t dive as deeply into the issue as it could.

I could go on and on about the importance of these books, perhaps because I’m still seeking closure, or because it’s difficult to believe that my family has encountered this kind of abuse twice. However, “The Christian Narcissist” was a straightforward, easily digestible read on a very complex issue. My only concern is that the author isn’t an actual psychologist, unlike “When Narcissism Comes to Church” by DeGroat, which, though excellent, I found harder to absorb and will likely need to reread because of its deeper insights. In contrast, “The Christian Narcissist” and “Bully Pulpit” were both clear and accessible, providing the insight and clarity I so desperately needed.

Short. Seems to scratch the surface on the topic. Links to sited work which is worth exploring.

This book was short and to the point. The biblical stuff in some cases I could do without but I knew I had to get through that and get to the meat. I was brought up since the cradle around this stuff and long story short I had something tragic happen to me as a small child. It was a family friend and I know for a fact some in my family knew about this. I do not feel save around some of them and don’t know if I ever will. The person who did the evil act tried to move her niece into my house. It is one of those things I am coping with and with therapy. She is one of those so called religious people and she is totally evil. I know I will never get answers but this book did give me understand why certain people are this way and to avoid them.

I read this book and I absorbed every word and it helped me find freedom from my past.
I wish I could write more to tell you how important it is for you to read this book.....
God bless you Brother Brian Howard!

Good Summary

This is a good summary of the topic. It is a reminder that we should be alert for the narcissistic actions of others and our own narcissistic actions.
