One of my “go to” books in ministry is Wounded by God’s People by Anne Graham Lotz. We don’t have to be in ministry very long until we are hurt by someone and it hurts deeply when it is a church member.

Barnabas is a PK himself so this is a must read. Here is a description of the book: The only one under as much pressure as the pastors is…the pastor’s kid.
