An Ounce of Prevention

Lawsuits against churches are escalating, as the social constraints against suing clergy break down. This is the perfect book for pastors and other religious workers who want to avoid lawsuits. The authors are practicing lawyers, writing for non-lawyers. They provide real-life examples of the most common lawsuits, then show how they could have been prevented. The book is very reasonably priced. It will pay for itself thousands of times over when a single lawsuit is stopped.
