Escaping the Trap of Image and Control Blind honor looks like loyalty, but it’s really toxic submission. It thrives in families, churches, and cultures where silence is celebrated and accountability is shamed. It’s the kind of counterfeit honor that covers abuse, manipulates trust, and fractures lives. In this groundbreaking book, Dennis J. Cummins exposes the epidemic of blind honor and its devastating effects—showing how it masquerades as respect while consuming everything in its path. From cultural traditions that silence truth to leaders who elevate image over integrity, Blind Honor reveals how manipulation works and why it spreads so easily. But this isn’t just a book about brokenness—it’s about freedom. With biblical insight, real-life stories, and practical wisdom, Dennis points the way back to true, God-centered honor. He shows how to break cycles of dysfunction and build trust that restores families, churches, and communities. You’ll also discover how to build upward relationships—the kind that nurture growth instead of control. Learn how to: Contribute instead of consume - Face challenges without becoming a burden - Sow honor that multiplies legacy - Stay teachable, humble, and loyal - Protect trust through integrity and transparency True honor doesn’t worship culture—it honors Christ.
