Sheep Among Wolves
Texas Churches and the Law by David D. Balkum God commands us to be good stewards of His creation and the resources with which He entrusts us. To do so, we must understand the laws of the world in which we live and minister. It is simply bad stewardship to do otherwise. Most ministers are aware of the church's increasing role as a target. Simultaneously, the law has become more complex than ever and it is difficult for attorneys, much less staff members with other demands on their hands, to maintain the church on steady legal footing. This book raises legal issues which should merit your personal consideration, discusses whether or not your church is doing what it should do to protect itself and its members, and provides a general reference for those in the church who are responsible for its legal affairs. Paperback: 324 pages Publisher: Pleasant Word (November 30, 2004) ISBN: 1414100922 |

Generation to Generation: Family Process in Church and
Synagogue By Edwin Friedman This groundbreaking volume applies the concepts of systemic family therapy to the emotional life of congregations and their leaders. Challenging many of the conventions of pastoral counseling, Edwin H. Friedman shows how family theory points to a less stressful approach to the full range of the clergy's responsibilities. He also illuminates how congregational dynamics can be a useful model for the study of any family enmeshed in larger systems, and how such systems can themselves be viewed as "families.
