Book Description

November 1993
Restoring Spouses, Families, and Congregation in the Wake of Immorality

With one in eight pastors admitting to having an affair, sexual sins among those in church leadership positions rightfully assume their place as one of the most dangerous and devastating issues facing Christendom today. And while a great deal of attention is given to the restoration of a fallen pastor or leader, almost no attention is given to the victims it left crushed and trampled by the wayside families, congregations, and others who have been under the spiritual influence of the person.

When a Leader Falls confronts the enormity of sexual immorality from those in authority in the church and is a platform from which to bring healing for the victims. It defines the destructiveness of the sin of adultery and explains why it's so wounding. It speaks to the leader's spouse, who is left with accusations of guilt, the loss of position, of ministry, of friends, and of family. It speaks to the rest of the church staff which must carry out the difficult job of restoration while they deal with their own pain as well. It speaks to the congregation which is left without their shepherd, often confused and polarized.

Here Is Help for All Those Who Are Hurt by a Leader's Sin

This review is from: When a Leader Falls: What Happens to Everyone Else? (Paperback)
This book was so interesting, informative, helpful....anyone who has experienced a fallen leader, whether in church, work, personally, whatever, should read this book. Our leaders are not infallible, should be held accountable, but should be loved in the process. Excellent book for someone hurting from being betrayed by a leader. Would be a good "group" book to read as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars When A Leader Falls What Happens to Everyone Else, September 21, 2008
By 
This review is from: When a Leader Falls: What Happens to Everyone Else? (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for those who are seeking an introductory overview of the problem of clergy sexual misconduct. It uses case studies to demonstrate the underlying weaknesses and intentions of the pastor involved; the vulnerabilities of the victim; feelings of betrayal, possible scapegoating, grief and trauma of all those in the congregation; the questions they demand answers to; and their subsequent questioning and re-examination of all other pastors within in their church.

It is an excellent building block from which those affected by this common, damaging problem can progress to more detailed information and insights. A brilliant primer, highly recommended to all!
