A very good book on church discipline and Biblical forgiveness based on a true story. There was a positive outcome which shows that Biblical forgiveness and discipline is possible and can work in the context of a loving congregation committed to living out God's Word. The only thing I would disagree with the author on is the statement that, "God's people can never be punished for their sins. The believer's sins have already been punished on the cross." I believe Christ died for our sins, but the ones committed after coming to faith are punished. The author ws trying to make a distinction between punishment and divine chastisement, but I think that it an unnecessary distinction and our differing views probably are a reflection of our doctrinal stances.
