Opis

Fears of disunity, conflict and even legal problems have caused many church leaders to avoid confronting Christians who are living in sin. Challenging the church's reluctance, Dr. Laney provides a biblical, practical and loving handbook for pastors and lay leaders alike on church discipline. ""Dr. Laney . . . encourages the Christian community to display both the compassion and concern that are needed in order to remain spiritually effective in the present age."" -- Don Baker, Author of Beyond Forgiveness ""Dr. Laney's book will answer many questions we all have about church discipline."" --Erwin W. Lutzer, Pastor of Moody Church ""Not only is the book thorough and accurate, but it is intensely practical."" -- Paul E. Steele, Pastor of The Valley Church ""Laney's book will encourage many more of us to become involved in very practical ways in this ministry of restoration."" -- Don Bubna, Pastor of Salem Alliance Church ""J. Carl Laney . . . thoughtfully and biblically pleads for a return to the proper practice of corrective church discipline."" -- From the Foreword, John MacArthur, Jr. J. Carl Laney is professor of biblical literature and coordinator for Israel study programs at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. He is the author of a number of books, including The Divorce Myth, Tyndale Concise Bible Commentary (with Robert B. Hughes) and Answers to Tough Questions from Every Book of the Bible.
