- "All congregations experience stress. However, occasionally a congregation goes through some sort of major tragedy -- for example a fire, a sexual misconduct scandal, or the untimely death of a pastor -- that requires a completely different order of coping skills. This is the first book to address those needs comprehensively. It includes care strategies, how to adapt worship, assessment tools for measuring healing, how the judicatory can help, how to handle the media, and how tragedy can give rise to learning." -- inside front cover.

I was driven to make a journey that would lead to my sacred core, where I would discover who I really was, and then be led back to the surface and a new way of living". -- Intro., p. 13.
