NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia, March 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Laura Nelson's book Avoiding the Potholes: Preventing Clergy Sexual Misconduct ($16.49, paperback, 9781630508814; $8.99, e-book, 9781630508821) is available for purchase.
In Avoiding the Potholes: Preventing Clergy Sexual Misconduct, Laura Nelson discusses sexual misconduct amongst those in church leadership, which continues to be a pressing issue plaguing our churches. It can be likened to a pothole, appearing seemingly overnight with detrimental effects, but what causes the erosion and is there a way to stay clear? With powerful spiritual insight and teaching from God's Word, Avoiding the Potholes addresses these questions, offering helpful, practical guidance for Christian leaders to avoid falling into this injurious hole.
"In working with our denomination, I witnessed this pain firsthand which prompted me to study why this occurs and consider steps for prevention. My hope is that if pastors are alerted to predisposing issues and prepare themselves to address the pertinent issues that place them in peril, we might stem the tide of clergy sexual misconduct," said Nelson.
Rev. Dr. Laura Nelson is the Senior Pastor of Olivet Baptist Church in New Westminster BC, where she has ministered the past eleven years.
