Synopsis

When we Christians behave badly, or fail to behave well, we are making Christianity unbelievable to the outside world.

-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity


In the ministry world where unpredictability is the only certainty, church leaders face a unique challenge-navigating the upheaval precipitated by crises. From unforeseen scandals to disruptive emergencies, leaders must be equipped with grounded solutions to manage them with confidence and poise.


That is why Phil Cooke's Church on Trial is a must-read. An essential guide for maintaining integrity and preserving the good standing of your church in the face of a crisis, you will learn how to:


-Maintain and earn congregational trust and unity,

-Safeguard your church's reputation preemptively and proactively before it crashes and burns,

-Implement best practices for crisis prevention and recovery,

-Build relationships and collaborate with trusted legal advisors, and

-Gracefully handle negative media attention and publicity.


Crises do not have to break your church. Rather, your church can be built to weather the storms they bring.
