When Sheep Bite: A Pastoral Guide to Cluster B Personality Disorders

By Lance G. Flood

Ministry was meant to be your calling, not your collapse.

They enter your church with sincerity, tears, and just enough Scripture to sound convincing. They ask for counsel. They volunteer to serve. They tell you they are hungry for truth.

But as time goes on, the damage begins to surface. Gossip spreads. Divisions grow. You're left confused, weary, and unsure whether the problem is them, or you.

This is the silent suffering of far too many pastors.

Dr. Flood combines clinical insight with lived pastoral experience to shine a light on the dark undercurrents of ministry abuse. As both a clinician who specializes in Cluster B disorders and a former pastor who has survived the bite of a toxic flock, he offers clarity, credibility, and compassion to leaders who feel emotionally and spiritually ambushed.

In When Sheep Bite, you will effectively learn how to:

Recognize and respond to Cluster B behaviors in a ministry context

Set firm, biblical boundaries without guilt

Discern between the spiritually broken and the spiritually abusive

Protect your family and your flock from emotional predators

Heal from betrayal without becoming bitter or burned out

This isn't a resource about revenge or retreat. It's a handbook for the faithful.

If you've ever been wounded in the line of spiritual duty, you are not crazy, you are not alone, and dear shepherd of souls...

You are not finished.
