The Absalom Spirit: Revealing Disloyalty's Plan To Destroy You And Those You Trust

In The Absalom Spirit, famed Aussie Pastor Ian Britza takes a look at the damaging effects of dissention in a leadership team through the story of King David’s betrayal by his son, Absalom. He understands that an act of betrayal in ministry can deliver a devastating blow—but it can be survived. Whether readers are currently experiencing the heartbreak of disloyalty or have never experienced it, this book will take them to a deeper level in understanding how God wants leadership teams to function for the success of His kingdom.

Ian Britza is an anointed minister of the Gospel who preaches the Word of God without compromise in a direct yet simple manner. He readily expounds upon profound truths gained from a lifetime of firsthand experiences—from his young beginnings as the son of a Baptist missionary and pastor to his roles of husband, father, pastor, and psalmist. God has given Ian a very strong anointing to minister to pastors, leaders, and families. He especially ministers on the marriage relationship, parenting, and the training and correction of children. He has a powerful ministry to young people and is very candid in his teachings on biblical principles affecting teens—including dating, friendships, and right relationships. After recording an album of quiet instrumental worship, he has been received as a gifted and talented musician with a precious anointing that ministers directly to the hearts of those listening as he plays the piano. Pastor Britza has pioneered two churches in Australia, one in Sydney, New South Wales and in Brisbane, Queensland. He is President of Ian Britza Ministries Ltd. and hosts a weekly television program. He is a regular speaker at leadership conferences and youth ministries across Australia and the United States and now concentrates most of his time ministering in churches. Ian and his wife, Penny, currently reside in Perth, Western Australia.
