From the Paper:

"Although the book is less than two hundred pages in length, Milco does a good job in illustrating the difficulties of life in modern society. There are eleven chapters in all, all of them with a specific focus that builds a strong message that should be listened to by today's church leaders. People today are losing faith in the church and in church leadership, this is a problem that does not impact one religion over another, but seems to be a problem that is non-denominational in nature. It is the job of leadership to reconnect with the parishioners and to make them feel that the church is a place where they can go for guidance and counsel without fear of reprisal. According to Milco, only three out of ten adults admit that they would seek help from a minister during times of difficulty in their lives. He attributes this to a "growing awareness of pastoral indiscretion, possible abuse cases (within the church) and many other situation that are causing parishioners to doubt the wisdom of ministers."
