Bullying in the Church: Addressing a Hidden Problem in Christianity

Bullying is a reality in our churches. It has devastated many people's lives. "Bullying in the Church: Addressing a Hidden Problem in Christianity" calls God's people to understand what bullying is, how we may be guilty of bullying others in the church, and how imperative it is to relate to one another in love. Endorsements: "It has been said the church is the only army that shoots its wounded. Too often, it's also the one doing the wounding. Mike Sarkissian explores the reality of bullying in the church and points us back to the one solution to this and every problem, that we would repent and believe the gospel." -R.C. Sproul Jr. "In Mike Sarkissian's book, he discusses what God's word says about sin, gossip, slander and other related evils. And he presents a clear and helpful analysis of how our postmodern culture has robbed us of the resources to deal with the situation. All of this within a strong gospel-centered appeal. I recommend this book and hope that it will receive a broad hearing." -Dr. John Frame Professor of Systematic Theology & Philosophy Reformed Theological Seminary "Mike Sarkissian courageously and openly exposes the sin problem behind bullying as well as its satanic character and the dreadful havoc it reaps. Masterfully he unfolds God's solution for this minimized sin: to live out of the person, the cross, and the words of Jesus Christ." -Dr. Joel R. Beeke President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary "This book by Mike Sarkissian is rigorously biblical, both in exposing the problem and providing the solution. I am happy to commend this book, the first I've ever read of its kind, to pastors and all of God's people as a biblical response to the evil sin of bullying." -Dr. Mark Jones "Mike addresses this neglected and timely topic. He exposes relational sins that underlie and promote bullying: gossip, slander, and favoritism. Mike is convinced that God's amazing grace should affect all our relationships, including those inside and outside of the church. He is zealous that Christians live for God not only in word but also in deed to brighten our witness to the world. His manuscript, addressed primarily to laypersons and secondarily to church leaders, is informative, engaging, and edifying." -Dr. Robert A. Peterson Drew University "I was gripped by the first sentence of Mike Sarkissian's book "Bullying in the Church." -Trisha Ramos WayofTheMaster.com, WretchedRadio.com "Pastor Mike has rendered the church a great service in addressing an issue that many Christians turn a blind eye to or are unaware of." -Lee Enochs Princeton Theological Seminary
