Providing Preventive Patterns of Care

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It's easy to feel scared by the increasing number of mass shootings in society. It's easy to be worried about safety in our churches. But the first step to preventing violence isn't tighter security, it's preventative care. Susan J. Presley has studied mass shootings in the United States for a decade and studies three specific church shootings in depth to understand the situation. This book offers real hope for churches by showing them what the current situation is, how we got here, and how we can help stop a shooting before a person picks up a gun. Practical tools are included in this book that can quickly and easily be put to use in churches. Sermon outlines, curriculum, and prayers can help churches move in a direction of prevention rather than reaction. Through this work the church can, and must, change the world.
