This is the second book in the "sheep attack series". After publishing the best selling "When Sheep Attack" the conversation around a handful of antagonists attacking pastors and dividing congregations has increased. This follow up book expands the original 25 case studies to over 200 including clergy of virtually every denomination, music ministers, other lay professionals and lay leaders. This book is needed because educating denominational lay leaders and healthy parish leaders on this behavior is the first line of defense. In this book, Doctor Maynard exposes the essential staff catalyst that fuels an attack on pastors. He also lists a six point plan that has proven successful in stopping sheep attacks. The book is written in a format that can be easily adapted to vestry and board study. Examples of steps parish boards need to take to assist with clergy health and wellness are included. There are also examples of non-triangulation covenants every vestry and board should adopt. Other topics included: Defining leadership styles, Sabbaticals a two-edged sword, The quicksand around parish day schools, Why it is inevitable someone will be ejected from the congregational system after a sheep attack and others.
