Ever wonder how do go about restoration? This book may provide significant help. Following is from an editorial review of the book:
When Christians fall into sin, how can we restore them? How can we bring them back into fellowship with more than a superficial apology? What if it is a Christian leader who has been involved in sexual sin or embezzlement or an addiction to gambling? The authors of this groundbreaking book provide a new model for church discipline.
The spiritual care team offers an approach that is biblical, compassionate and effective. A spiritual care team is a small group of mature Christians who voluntarily commit themselves to support and guide a person with special spiritual needs through a process of restoration.
This community approach emphasizes the importance of dealing with truth, making repentance complete and reestablishing discipline in the life of the sinner. In these pages you will find practical guidance on how to form a spiritual care team, how to support the spouse and family of the person being restored, how to integrate professional helpers and the church into the process, and how to provide ongoing care when the main work of the team is complete.
