Ministry was meant to be your calling, not your collapse.

They enter your church with sincerity, tears, and just enough Scripture to sound convincing. They volunteer to serve and appear hungry for truth, but as time goes on, the damage begins to surface and before you realize it, gossip spreads and divisions grow. In the wake, you're left feeling confused, weary, and perhaps even wondering if the problem is you.

This is the silent suffering of far too many pastors.

In the second edition of When Sheep Bite, Dr. Flood combines clinical insight with lived pastoral experience to shine a light on the dark undercurrents of ministry abuse. As both a clinician who specializes in personality disorders and a former pastor who has survived the bite of a toxic flock, he offers clarity, credibility, and compassion to ministry leaders who feel emotionally and spiritually ambushed.

Within these pages, you'll effectively learn how to:

• Recognize and respond to Cluster B behaviors in a ministry context
• Set firm, biblical boundaries without guilt
• Discern between the spiritually broken and the spiritually abusive
• Protect your family and your flock from emotional predators
• Heal from betrayal without becoming bitter or burned out

If you've ever been wounded in the line of spiritual duty, you're not crazy, you're not alone, and dear shepherd of souls...

You are not finished.
