These Sheep Bite Author:John Snyder Our pastors, church leaders, and vital ministries are being attacked and destroyed by powerful forces while virtually nothing is being done about it. Although aware of the fierce persecution aimed at Christians worldwide, terrorism by extremist religious groups in Asia, Africa, China, and the like, few of us will ever be thus persecuted or ev... more »en arrested for our faith. However, the likelihood is very high of encountering the kind of persecution that has taken shape more recently. In fact, it's unlikely that a single church will escape it altogether. No one is immune. No pastor is safe from it. No church leader can afford to remain ignorant of it. It's happening right now! These Sheep Bite is a frank look behind the scenes at the unknown and dark side of the modern pastor's and church leader's life. This book takes the lid off church leadership abuse and offers practical and effective solutions on how to stop this abuse. It sheds light on common misperceptions of right "Christian" behavior and shows how courageous action on the part of a few will prevent the destruction of the body of Christ. If you love your church, pastor, and leadership, you will want to read this book. From G. Lloyd Rediger - author, speaker, consultant
"The catchy title of this book invites attention to a spiritual epidemic in congregations across this nation and internationally. Here is an encyclopedic exposure of the devastation caused by "clergy killers" (rabid sheep). These are a few members who have become servants of evil as they target the pastor (shepherd) with incessant abuse, and thereby sabotage pastoral effectiveness and health, and contaminate congregational mission. The reader will discover why tough love and its prescriptions provide the only sufficient remedy. This is a very important book for pastors under attack, for church lay leaders whose pastor is anguished from clergy killer abuse, and for those who don't understand the incursions of evil in so many congregations."
