There are many situations that leaders in the church encounter that are curious. These situations require a patient, listening, and compassionate ear. A leader in the church should be prepared to make well-informed, responsible decisions on a regular basis while operating with only limited information.That is precisely why this book, Curious Cases, contains these one-hundred-fifty short pastoral case studies: in order to assist leaders in the church (especially young leaders in the church) to make good decisions inside of their various and unique ministry settings. Each case study provides the reader with enough information to make a sound decision on a case, but that doesn't mean the decision will be easy.In Curious Cases: A Series of Short Pastoral Case Studies, you will find real-life complex, challenging scenarios that the church is encountering in the modern world on a regular basis. This book is designed to help leaders in the church to faithfully prepare to engage the world in whatever setting they may be currently serving in!
