They sit in our pews. They come to our church picnics. They may
even teach Sunday school or serve on a committee. They are sexual
predators, and no church or ministry is immune to the devastating
effects of child sexual abuse and the resulting litigation.
Good intentions alone will not stop the physical, emotional,
financial, and spiritual damage resulting from just one incident of
abuse. This invaluable guide, written by an experienced attorney
and active church member, provides must-have information on
important questions such as:
- What if a church member or leader is accused of
molestation?
- What should be said to the media after an incident or an
allegation?
- What insurance coverage should a church have?
- What screening and background checks should be used for
church
workers?
- What policies should be implemented to protect children?

"A 'must-read' for pastors, ministry leaders, and church
members. . . . Predators have no respect for ministries or those
who work and worship there. We must be aware, informed, and
prepared. [This book] is a vital tool in our arsenal with which we
can protect our children." --Dan Burrell
