This handbook for pastors, elders, and all Christians presents the process of discipline that should operate in the Christian community. Based chiefly on the five steps of corrective discipline found in Matthew 18:15-17. It was written in response to the various concerns that threaten to tear apart marriages, families, friendships, and congregations — concerns that call for a biblical approach to discipline that can heal fractures, restore right relationships, and ensure the health of the church.
