(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 14, 2019 ) Dr. Everton A. Ennis has recently released a new book that will help church leaders (and members) to transform the church experience from within. From Holy Hell to Hallelujah Again! Surviving the Consuming Flames of Congregational Conflict has been published by Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company.
Religious congregations are rife with conflict—and most of it is preventable. Based on the author’s research and years of pastoral experience, From Holy Hell to Hallelujah Again! explains how church leaders can make a positive difference in the church to prevent it from being torn apart by conflict, or by helping it to recover from conflict to become mission-driven again.

This guide breaks down into simple yet transformative ways the anatomy of church conflict, and examines the phenomenon in the context of seven types of causes. As each church and each situation is different, there is no cookie-cutter approach to resolving conflict.
To top it all off, Bible colleges and seminaries generally do a poor job of training ministerial students in Conflict Ministry, leaving most pastors woefully ill-prepared to handle church conflict. This inadequacy tends toward escalation rather than resolution. Since the pastors are inadequately prepared, who will adequately teach and train the church?

From Holy Hell to Hallelujah Again! is a clear, concise guide for lay members and church leaders that explores some of the nuances of church conflict not touched upon by most books. Ministerial students and college/seminary professors will truly enjoy this tool, written in part as a textbook for conflict ministry, and local church members and pastors will find a basis for forging a powerful partnership to transition their congregation from a holy hell to hallelujah again!
