Description: Anyone involved in ministry for any amount of time has probably run across staff problems. And the challenge in dealing with staff problems within a Christian ministry is solving the problems in a Christian manner--and keeping a sense of humor about it all. In How to Treat a Staff Infection, Dr. Craig and Carolyn Williford take a "medical" approach to those common ministry ailments, including

• a stiff neck "God always intended VBS to be two full weeks."
   
• temporary paralysis "You want me to make a decision?" 
   
• a flaccidity of the lips "Got a prayer request for you: you won't believe what so-and-so did now…"
   
• abnormal weight gain "God just gave me this incredible idea…"
   
• and many more

Almost every problem a ministry staff encounters is covered in this humorous and helpful book.
