Before long, he volunteered to teach a Sunday School class and got to know eight-year-old \"Peter.\" Things started innocently. A hug at the end of class. Gifts for Peter. Lots of extra attention. And then it happened. Jimmy took advantage of Peter.   In On Guard, Deepak Reju examines why child predators target churches and offers eleven straightforward strategies to protect children from abuse and to help young victims recover if it does happen. While On Guard does provide practical help for building a child protection policy, it provides much more. Full of pastoral wisdom, On Guard recognizes that the church's response to abuse must be more comprehensive—in line with her calling—than a simple legal policy or clinical analysis. On Guard moves church staff and leaders beyond fearful awareness to prayerful preparedness with an actionable plan.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420156244341,"sku":"9781939946515","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781939946515.jpg?v=1793052977"},{"product_id":"9781945270093","title":"She`s Got the Wrong Guy – Why Smart Women Settle","description":"The control freak. The angry man. The lazy guy. The unteachable guy. The promiscuous man. The unbeliever. The lone ranger. The unchurched guy. The new convert. The commitment-phobe.   For any woman who has struggled with failed relationships, this may seem like a familiar list. These are the men your friends and family have in mind when they think, \"she's with the wrong guy.\" And while the reasons women choose these types of men are complicated and varied, ultimately, they will all let you down.   In She's Got the Wrong Guy, Deepak Reju offers a different kind of dating book, discussing the types of guys women should not marry and offering biblical reasons why they aren't suitable spouses. Writing from his years of experience as a pastor and counselor, Reju shares with women his perspective on how to assess a relationship's strengths from the beginning, how to identify possible pitfalls, and how to have the courage to wait for a relationship that will be a blessing for both of you. Using stories that single women can relate to and highlighting contemporary issues in the modern world of dating, Reju gives readers clear, biblical direction on how to have positive, life-giving relationships with members of the opposite sex.   With a strong, Christ-centered focus, women will better understand why they \"settle\" for less than what God intends for their romantic relationships and learn to put their hopes and find their happiness in Jesus, not marriage.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420255170933,"sku":"9781945270093","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781945270093.jpg?v=1793053012"},{"product_id":"track-a-male-students-guide-to-purity-in-a-porn-saturated-culture","title":"Track: A (Male) Student's Guide to Purity in a Porn-Saturated Culture","description":"Hope and Freedom for Young Men Battling PornographyAre you—or someone you care about—struggling with the overwhelming pull of pornography in today’s digital world?
