Churches all across this nation are in disarray. Pastors are being terminated because of an emergence of a few rebellious-religious zealot “control freaks.” Members are hurting and inflicting hurt on one another as well as their pastors with a dictatorial style of leadership. Why are so many pastors and churches experiencing such devastation? Why do Christians, many of whom have been raised and trained under some of the godliest pastors and churches in America, end up acting like pagans? This book is about what is going on in the ministry environment in the 21st Century. The stories and ideas in the pages ahead reflect the real experiences of real people and real circumstances living out their sometimes difficult and complicated lives in what is known as the “church” world. H. B. London and Neil B. Wiseman in their updated Pastors at Great Risk book Pastors at Greater Risk say, “The risks in ministry are greater than ever. Pastors are working harder in a world that’s more corrupt. They wonder why their parishioners expect them to squander energy on trivial matters when evil threatens to wreck the human race.
