book idea
Does anyone know of a book that was written to help church members who have had a pastor fall into sexual sin? I am trying to find out if a good one exists. I have come across some that were written for those who have been wounded by the church, and ones for pastors themselves who have fallen, but not one that specifically addresses issues that church members may experience in the wake of a pastor's sexual sin. Please let me know if you know of any titles, or if you are better at finding books on Amazon than I am.
Anyway, if a recent book like this doesn't exist, that is sad and I wish I could write one. Experiencing pastors fall into sexual sin was a hallmark of my childhood and adolescence, and left me with a lot of trust issues and pain. So here's my plan - buy "Writing a Book for Dummies", interview lots and lots of people to get material, and hope that someone would buy a self-published book written by an ICS major who still gets mistaken for a high school student and who doesn't even want to ever get a Masters degree in anything. Hey, I'll give it away for free.

I support this book.
The interviews sound like they would be the most awkward situations in the world, but also very helpful to a lot of people.
You should research the Barna Group and see if they've done studies.
Barna. They always beat everyone to the punch.
I do not think that the interviews would be the most awkward thing in the world. I think that seeing someone go into the bathroom at It's A Grind with their blended mocha and laptop would be way worse.
Then I win!
Amanda, I will investigate if such a book exists.
However, if there is one thing I know, it's that the Christian book market LOVES new books.
If you start writing and have a sample chapter, I could get it to a publisher.
wow. I already have an agent. thanks abigail, if I ever get off my butt I will pass it on to you.
I will pass on my book, not my butt. It looks like I am already failing as a clear and effective writer. haha.
