Reviews

[John Kennedy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A frank discussion of what happens when a child abuser spends months in a church abusing children before being discovered. Anderson skillfully blends the narrative of what his church went through with practical advice on what churches can do to prevent such a situation. He also details the catch-22 of what happens when a church is embroiled in such a disaster. There will be fallout for the congregation one way or the other.
