Swollen brain. A flaccidity of the lips. A stiff neck. Temporary paralysis. These "illnesses" and many others are familiar problems among both paid and unpaid ministry staff. And through their years of ministry experience, Dr. Craig Williford and Carolyn Williford are well-versed in diagnosing and prescribing treatment for a large variety of staff ailments.

How to Treat a Staff Infection is a humorous and helpful reference tool for keeping your staff healthy and vital. Each chapter opens with an all-too-true description of the problem, then offers compassionate, practical, and godly suggestions for dealing with "infected" staff members. You'll read it once for the sheer joy of realizing that you are not alone in your frustrations. You'll refer to it time and time again for expert advice when an infection threatens to spread in your staff.
