Being in ministry has its perils! Have you ever slipped off the ledge? “Not me,” you say. “It couldnÂ’t happen to me.” Beware! Like lambs on a ledge, those of us who step into any area of Christian ministry are moving into perilous territory. One moment of carelessness, a brief dropping of our guard, and we can lose our footing. Out of her broad experience, the author identifies 10 danger zones that ministry people face. With a loving spirit and a thorough grasp of biblical principles, she points out how we may escape these dangers, rescue others from the precipice and help restore our wounded brothers and sisters. Comments from “So much depth…I will use it in leadership training.” Richard Dunk, pastor. “Offers a unique blend of biblical wisdom and transparent, first-hand experience…targets the painful issues…” Phil Derstine, pastor. “Hits home…honest and truthful…reveals the way God wants us to respond in difficult situations…” Jean Rockey, law student. “Her chapter on the deadly deception of ‘spiritual adulteryÂ’ will surely rescue some from falling…” Dr. Harold Mangham, VP/Church Ministries, The Christian and Missionary Alliance.
