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.Marcus Throup calls for a return to an authentic, Christ-centred approach to leadership that values humility, faithfulness, prayer, and genuine pastoral care over sensationalism. By celebrating the beauty of simplicity, it invites readers to rediscover the heart of ministry: holiness, down-to-earth preaching, and a focus on what truly matters.

"Here is an instructive feast that should be essential reading for all Christian leaders; old, new or aspiring. Marcus Throup has taken the existing understanding of spiritual abuse and safer, healthier leadership to a new level through a grounded, insightful and challenging exploration. Marcus has left no more room for denials, distractions and discussions that seek to ignore what has attacked the authenticity and healthy purpose of our leadership for so long. This excellent book helps us to think clearly about what ought to be avoided and how to keep our eyes firmly focused on what we have been called to and the person who has called us."
