Customer Reviews

This book was great!

I thought the title sounded good, so I bought the book. I was surprised and pleased to learn that it was a well-written book with lots of information that churches and pastors should consider. It emphasized the need to make our churches safe for children. I would encourage anyone who wants to know about child abuse to read this book!

every pastor needs this manual

This book outlines the nuts and bolts of making your church safer. You will benefit from the lessons he had to learn the hard way through dealing with an unsafe volunteer in the church. The church can either learn the hard way or learn from someone else's experience. This man wrote the book at least a decade ago. If the church listenened then, look at the suffering that would have been avoided. We better to take this mans advice.

Excellent Resource!

This is an excellent resource for anyone working with children in a church setting. It very simply, yet thoroughly outlines the dangers, the outcomes, and the steps to take to prevent abuse in the church. It also includes a very helpful section on dealing with the media.
