Daddy's House

I only wish that I knew then what I know now!! How many times have you echoed those words? "WARRIORS" describes the 30 year journey which I have had the privilege of taking, serving in the institution which Jesus shed His blood over and now His tears-namely THE CHURCH. The realism which I have gained is much more than an epic of glory and success, but reveals what I have learned through the "school of hard knocks". This trilogy on WARFARE IN THE CHURCH, deals with preventing church division and strife, secondly, walking through church division when it takes place, and thirdly, picking up the pieces and starting over after the storm has subsided. I examine such topics as "Leadership styles that don't work, Keeping everyone happy and my sanity also, Preaching when half the body wants you fired, How do I forgive when I want to kill? Protecting my family from the church wolves, Staying married to the church and my wife? And, Don't dump your baggage on me!" I deal with these most frequently asked questions by pastors: "Where division begins, The issue of loyalty and leadership, When there is "another spirit" in the house, Handling rejection, Dealing with church splits, Keeping the faith in difficult times, Questions to ask someone leaving your church, How not to make the same mistake twice, Learning to laugh again, How Jesus can resurrect your dreams again, and The rising of "THE THIRD DAY CHURCH." It is my heart felt prayer that my vision for this book helps to prevent church strife and brings healing to those in the midst of the storm. And for those of you who feel as if your joy for ministry has been stolen, may you find hope to dream and build again!!!! Pastor Chuck
