    About this ebook

    Beware!
    Like lambs on a ledge, those of us who step into any area of Christian ministry are moving into perilous territory. One moment of carelessness, a brief dropping of our guard, and we can lose our footing.

    Out of her broad experience, the author exposes ten dangers that can cast us from the ledge and into the chasm below. With candor, compassion and a thorough grasp of biblical principles, she shows us how we may escape these dangers and fi nd healing when we have been wounded.

    (Included are: Warning Signs of Weakness and Questions to Ask before Joining a Ministry)
