Never Call Them Jerks by Arthur Paul Boers
No church is immune to the problems that can arise when parishioners behave in difficult ways. Responding to such situations with self-awareness and in a manner true to one's faith tradition makes the difference between peace and disaster. In this must-read book, Boers shows how a better understanding of difficult behavior can help congregational leaders avoid the trap of labeling such parishioners and exercise self-care when the going gets rough.Arthur Boers holds the R. J. Bernardo Family Chair of Leadership at Tyndale Seminary (Toronto, Canada). He previously taught pastoral theology at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (Elkhart, Indiana). A Benedictine oblate, he served for over sixteen years as a Mennonite pastor in rural, urban, and church-planting settings in the United States and Canada. He has written or co-written six books, including The Way is Made by Walking: A Pilgrimage Along the Camino de Santiago (InterVarsity, 2007), reflecting on an 800-kilometer pilgrimage that he walked in Spain; Never Call Them Jerks: Healthy Responses to Difficult Behavior (Alban, 1999) and Take Our Moments and Our Days, volumes one and two and Day by Day These Things We Pray: Uncovering Ancient Rhythms of Prayer (all from Herald Press).
