When the Sheep Bite gives practical yet biblical counsel to those who have been "church hurt" from a gospel-centered perspective. Far from just another "how to love" book, When the Sheep Bite - Focuses on the gospel rather than cliches about love - Realistically addresses the difficulty of loving people who are hard to love -Does not engage in "church bashing" but honors Jesus' bride - Demonstrates how the gospel produces love rather than exhorting people to act lovingly - Gives biblical strategies for fighting the sin which stifles love
Life hurts, and loving people is hard. Even well-meaning, godly people can be unkind, but the gospel holds a supernatural power to love, even when the sheep bite.
