Too often church discipline hurts rather than heals. On the one hand, well-meaning Christians may react with extreme measures that drive people away-both the sinner and church members who disagree with the actions taken. On the other hand, the wrongdoing may be covered up or ignored-causing those sinned against to wonder if the church stands for justice and truth. John White and Ken Blue return church discipline to its biblical balance, helping us show care and concern for friends in sin. Christlike discipline calls for loving confrontations that lead to healing, reconciliation and restoration. In this compassionate book, the authors face the tough, often neglected questions surrounding church discipline: What if a person does not acknowledge wrongdoing? What if sin persists? What can be done about gossip? What if the pastor refuses to help? What if the problem is with the pastor?
