Restorative Church Discipline

As Christians we have become experts at shooting our wounded. We watch an erring brother travel down a path of destruction bringing hurt and shame to his life and family, and what do we do? Usually nothing, or even worse, we join in the local gossip and slander about his sin.In "Restorative Church Discipline," author Terry Ivy walks us through the biblical call for the Church to begin rescuing and healing the wounded instead of shooting them. He covers in detail the five steps involved, as well as addressing many areas which are important for believers to understand. This is not a book about dry principles or cold detachment from the pain of others. Instead, it is plea for believers to begin loving our brothers and sisters enough to reach out. Terry speaks from his experience and shares many insights about this much needed topic.There are believers, including leaders, who are suffering from the wounds of their failures. They feel abandoned and forsaken. This book is a call for us to seek to restore them. They need us...and we need them
