SynopsisWhat is the way forward for the church? Tragically, in recent years, Christians have gotten used to revelations of abuses of many kinds in our most respected churches--from Willow Creek to Harvest, from Southern Baptist pastors to Sovereign Grace churches.

Tragically, in recent years, Christians have become accustomed to revelations of abuses in our churches-from Willow Creek Community Church to Harvest Bible Chapel, from Southern Baptist pastors to Sovereign Grace churches. The sad truth is that churches of all shapes and sizes are susceptible to abuse of power, sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse. Abuses can occur when Christians neglect to create a culture of goodness that resists evil and promotes healing, safety, and spiritual growth. Now, respected authors Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer offer a way to move forward. How do we prevent these devastating events from repeating themselves? We need a map to get us where we ought to be as the body of Christ. The key is found in Scripture in a beautiful little Hebrew word that means good. The word is tov.
