HOW DARE YOU SUE EACH OTHER? Our culture's best legal advice "When in doubt, sue!"-has come to be accepted by the church as normal, often resulting in a kind of "shoot-out at OK Corral" within the Christian community. Why is it happening? What can we do about it? TELL IT TO THE CHURCH shows how the church can follow Christ's command in Matthew 18 to settle disputes among believers. "In this age of suit-happy Americans, Tell It to the Church offers a practical and much-needed alternative to the civil courts. Using case histories, personal testimony, and biblical applications, Lynn Buzzard and Laurence Eck describe how the church has a potent but little-used mandate to help Christians settle disputes." Russell Chandler Religion writer, Los Angeles Times "I am personally involved in the Christian Conciliation Service in Seattle and feel that it is providing an answer that all of us in the church and society need desperately. This book will be of real help in giving Christian churches strategy and ammunition to help the people of God lead our society into ways to deal with disputes." Bruce Larson Pastor, University Presbyterian Church, and author "This is an exciting, practical, inspiring book for Christians in a world of personal and interpersonal trouble. . . . a thorough discussion of the biblical basis for reconciliation, which issophisticated in its theology and its law." Thomas L. Shaffer Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University ISSUES AND INSIGHTS SERIES Ideas make a difference. They forge our future. This series focuses on our contemporary world, bringing Christian insights to bear on issues that will make a difference to our lives today.. . and in the future.
