Understanding the Devastation of Sexual Misconduct in the Clergy and Avoiding It


News Image

My hope is that if pastors are alerted to predisposing issues and prepare themselves to address the pertinent issues that place them in peril, we might stem the tide of clergy sexual misconduct

Laura Nelson’s book Avoiding the Potholes: Preventing Clergy Sexual Misconduct ($16.49, paperback, 9781630508814; $8.99, e-book, 9781630508821) is available for purchase.

In Avoiding the Potholes: Preventing Clergy Sexual Misconduct, Laura Nelson discusses sexual misconduct amongst those in church leadership, which continues to be a pressing issue plaguing our churches. It can be likened to a pothole, appearing seemingly overnight with detrimental effects, but what causes the erosion and is there a way to stay clear? With powerful spiritual insight and teaching from God’s Word, Avoiding the Potholes addresses these questions, offering helpful, practical guidance for Christian leaders to avoid falling into this injurious hole.

“In working with our denomination, I witnessed this pain firsthand which prompted me to study why this occurs and consider steps for prevention. My hope is that if pastors are alerted to predisposing issues and prepare themselves to address the pertinent issues that place them in peril, we might stem the tide of clergy sexual misconduct,” said Nelson.

Rev. Dr. Laura Nelson is the Senior Pastor of Olivet Baptist Church in New Westminster BC, where she has ministered the past eleven years. She is a graduate of Biola University, Regent College, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Laura has a passion for ministry and encouraging people in their walk of faith. Her greatest delight is her two adult daughters.

Alexander B. Okenwa’s newly released “The Errors and Wrong Opinions in the Churches Today” is an illuminating exploration into the truths withheld in God’s book


News Image

“The Errors and Wrong Opinions in the Churches Today: Part One”: a tell-all perspective that helps clear away everyone’s ignorance of the Bible and brings the world some answers to the problems of this time. “The Errors and Wrong Opinions in the Churches Today: Part One” is the creation of published author Alexander B. Okenwa, a fervent believer in Jesus Christ for about four decades. He is a known member of the Assemblies of God Church and taught Sunday school when he was in Nigeria. He has since worked as a private security guard, a substitute teacher, a taxi driver, a personal caregiver, and currently a truck driver. At present, being a writer is a calling for him from the Lord.

Okenwa shares, “Ever since the dawn of time on earth, human beings have been in the dark—spiritually, intellectually, educationally, and relationally. The only cause for these general human handicaps on earth is our general ignorance of the Bible—the only book with accurate records on nature/existence ever written and given to all human beings on earth.

“There is no doubt that the Bible alone holds the truths to all the lies in the world, the solutions to all the problems in the world, and the answers to all the questions that the whole world has been asking since the inception of time on earth.

“The hour has come for the seeming encryptions of the Bible that have resisted for ages past all human efforts toward proper understanding to be uncovered. This means then that all these lies that the world has had, which has locked itself up with these many unsolved problems and unanswered questions, will now be gone forever. Thanks be to God, who has come down to earth to explain for us, human beings, the book (the Bible) whose one and only Author is He.

“In that case, both the ever unsolved problems and the unanswered questions of all humanity will receive the solutions and the answers that it has longed for, as these lies—which are the errors and wrong opinions of the churches—are being discovered and corrected.

“Consequently, we can then live up to God’s mandate of subduing with correct knowledge the earth that is presently under the sway of Satan and his spirit allies, and thus rescuing the world from the societal confusions that it is presently in today.

“These are the goals this book and others in the offing are meant to achieve for us henceforth.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Alexander B. Okenwa’s new book is a truly enlightening piece that highlights the errors and fallacies in the modern church. This will help readers realize what is the actual truth behind the posing ones.

Chibangu, a university student raised in the United Kingdom. She’s very passionate about her love for Jesus and sharing the goodness of God to the youth.

It is also a sharing about grace and the mercies of God, yet still this book is a story to inspire, comfort, encourage, and cheer on someone who might be going through something similar to or worse than what I went through. In a sense, this book brings awareness to the rare but dangerous condition called myasthenia gravis and its secondary offshoot, thymoma (cancer of the thymus gland).

Valerie Rose’s newly released “Dear God, I Hate You Yet You Love Me Anyway” brings a wellspring of hope, healing, and faith by sharing insights and personal experiences


News Image

“Dear God, I Hate You Yet You Love Me Anyway: Finding Faith through the World’s Filth”: a powerful testimony of God’s love that shines right through a heart that has been filled with anger, loneliness, hopelessness, and hurt. “Dear God, I Hate You Yet You Love Me Anyway: Finding Faith through the World’s Filth” is the creation of published author Valerie Rose, a college professor who teaches business, management, ethics, critical thinking, and college success. She enjoys volunteering with American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen, FFA Agricultural Education, and serving in various ministries at Harvest Church.

An excerpt from the book further explains, “Valerie Rose is an ordinary, middle-aged, middle-class, working woman whose willingness to share her own oppositional view on faith, religion, the world’s filth, and building a relationship with God in the midst of it all is real, raw, inspiring, and encourages others to do the same. She is a daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, wife, mother, stepmother, nana, and friend whose passion is to inspire others to turn their frowns upside down and embrace God’s love through all life’s trials and tribulations.

“Using her own personal struggles in building a relationship with God, Valerie shows how recognizing God’s love for her in the midst of anger, agony, awkwardness, abandonment, alcoholism, and abuse helped her to replace hatred with healing. She overcame abuse and abandonment, fears, hurts, and other hang-ups to go on teaching and encouraging others to learn and grow.

“Valerie offers life-transforming insights not only about how to overcome hatred, hurts, hang-ups, and painful circumstances many identify with, but also how to heal, grow, and embrace God’s love from those experiences and then help others to do the same. Her personal stories will inspire you to see your own hatred, hurts, and hang-ups that have built barriers around your heart and will help you to begin seeking healing, grace, and love; to recognize God loves all of you and He is there for you.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Valerie Rose’s new book is a thought-provoking read that will help readers to identify themselves within these pages and reflect on their own life journey just as the author writes of her own story of finding faith through the filth.
