Description
This trilogy includes three books written by Chris Creech. Every year thousands of pastors, missionaries, and Christian workers are forced from their ministries due to conflict within their local church or ministry team. Many never to return. Studies reveal that forced terminations, once having occurred in a local church, often repeat themselves in the same church, demonstrating a pattern of dysfunction and difficulty within those fellowships. In Toxic Church, Creech examines how the patterns of family dysfunction find their way into the life of the local church, often producing severe conflict, causing division, enabling sin, and even ending the ministry of the pastor and possibly even the local church. Creech outlines a plan for recognizing dysfunction within the church family, diagnosing the root causes of that dysfunction, and taking steps to protect the church and the pastor from what many now call the epidemic caused by toxic churches and the clergy killers withing them.The Antidote further defines this problem, offers and effective Biblical solution, The Antidote teaches a simple, oft-ignored Biblical answer which has the potential of stopping conflict entirely. This antidote, along with its accompanying Biblical principles, can give real hope to those who are plagued with the problem of conflicted ministries. Finally the third book is a companion to The Antidote and contains case studies of The Antidote in action. Chris presents four different examples in this short book. He also includes an example of this being used in a marriage counseling setting.
