Very good book. There are some better ones out there ("Firestorm" by Ron Susek and "Clergy Killers" by G. Lloyd Rediger) but this was a good book too. It helps you understand where they (the "well-intentioned dragon") is coming from and also lets you know that sometimes they are NOT so "well-intentioned". This also gives you help in knowing how to confront and deal with such individuals you may be ministering along side. (Because they too, need to be ministered to.) It's wrong to overlook sin, so they (each of us) need to be held accountable. There are some good things to glean from knowing the how and why behind a person's actions and hopefully be able to go on from there and still have a good relationship with them, the church you both attend, and those in the community that you are to be a testimony to. It is a sad thing to loose any of those things. I think these books (that I have shared of) should be read by all church members. This is not a rare thing to see in churches, most (if not all) have to deal and handle such actions from people in the congregation. It's good to be knowledgeable about what is going on, and thus put a stop to it, before the testimony of the church is lost.
