Church Privacy Who Cares? You!

"What Others Are Saying About Grace and Her Strategies ""As I read Suzy's story, so many memories came to mind that I had to pray for God's peace to fill my heart. Unfortunately, the subject of your book is way too true. Too many churches are completely careless in their handling of church members' private experiences and information. From the moment I read ""Suzy's Story,"" I wanted to read the whole book. I felt angry about situations like these that occur in the church. Once I read further, I wanted to find out how I could impress upon my own church the importance of privacy. The information is very helpful, and this is the type of book I tell my pastors about."" -K. G. Broomes ""Informative and enjoyable read. The church should be safe and secure, including valuable personal information. Church Privacy: Who Cares? You! is a great teaching tool for those in leadership structure and practice. This book is an excellent asset to any organization discussing mishandled information and the importance of privacy."" -April Young ""As I read the beginning of your book it took me back to my previous role as ministry director for a new church plant I served a while back. I remembered the importance of confidentiality that we instilled in our church team and employees. As I read further so many Aha! moments resonated with me. It took me back to what I did great, but it opened up a lot of things I experienced as a Director of Ministry that I'm now thinking: if I only knew. Everyone running a church with a number of ministries needs this book. People we put in place to help others need to be trained."" -R. Pickens ""I really enjoyed this book! Though it was a quick read, I felt that it gave me a lot of information that was usable, and if I were a church member, I feel that this book would have equipped me with the right mindset to approach this matter at the church, full understanding of why this is so important, an idea of what I can do, and why I should do it. The book was very relatable and hard-hitting, yet maintained a warm and professional tone. I felt that it gave churches and my church (if I had one) a certain respect, whilst still holding churches accountable for certain practices that occur. I felt that it gave ME a certain respect, yet held me accountable for my role within the church. Grace strongly impressed the idea of prevention being much better than cure, and did this with excellent analogies and biblical examples. There was a sense of high stakes, and in turn this had me invested, despite the fact that I personally only see a church when I go to drop off food bank donations. The reputational, financial, legal, and spiritual risks associated with failing in the area of privacy stuck. I feel that if I finally found a new church family, this book would now be part of my decision-making process on whether or not I wanted to stay."" -Stefanie Thompson"
