Review # 1 was written on 2008-09-28 00:00:00 Gregory Wilson This is a good, solid resource. It helped clarify my thinking on a few things. Adams is clear and careful in his definitions. As with any book like this, it will require wisdom and experience to properly apply the principles laid out in a real church setting.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-22 00:00:00 Salvatore Panebianco This really is a helpful little primer in church discipline. Adams helpfully includes preventative (formative) and self discipline in the framework of church discipline, as well as corrective discipline. He clearly communicates the importance of reconciliation as the goal of discipline, and shows the wisdom of a pastor. Chapter ten on intercongregational discipline is the least helpful. Given the departure from what is clearly laid out in Scripture (on discipline within a church), the instructions in here could afford to be a bit more circumspect. But really, this chapter suffers from needing more attention (to delve into issues of church authority and autonomy) than the space of the book allows. Overall very helpful
