What a great resource! You're going to continue to open the eyes of church leaders and members to a whole new world that they need to consider. There has been a flippant attitude in most circles (oftentimes mine included) when it comes to how we handle people's information. You create a strong argument for the danger of this and give some great practical guidance on what action steps to take. As a pastor, I know that I am called to care for the people in my congregation. Part of that includes providing biblical teaching and godly counsel when requested, helping to facilitate the meeting of physical needs of members, and safeguarding the overall work and mission of the church. As we step further into a new age of technological advancement, part of that pastoring role must include making sure that the church does not harm its members by mishandling their information. This book provides a great challenge to be responsible in this area. As someone who was also in an adjunct role at a seminary, I think this information must be presented to students who feel called to the ministry so that all churches are able to be responsible and further the kingdom of God without unintentionally harming anyone. Grace does a great job of providing a resource for every pastor, Christian institution head, and ministry leader. The misuse of the information of people in Christian circles can cause great harm, even though it may be unintentional. It can also weaken the credibility of churches and trust in the church community, hindering people from effectively receiving the gospel of Christ. Grace presents the need for responsibly handling the information of those we minister to as well as steps on how to do this. She takes the time to speak to churches of different sizes and touches on everything from content that churches should and shouldn't put in their bulletins to ensuring that counseling information and social media are handled responsibly. She makes the complicated seem more understandable and achievable. We are truly in a new era of ministry, and we need more resources like this. Dr. Joshua Powell, Pastor and former Adjunct Professor of Evangelism, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Well-articulated. This book is a critical and comprehensive privacy guide for faith leaders. Grace does a phenomenal job! You've been a great privacy subject matter expert supporting critical national, local, and international news stories with your vast knowledge on topics ranging from spy planes to drones to privacy concerns on capitol hill to hacking to identity protection, and now this. If anyone was going to write the first-ever operational church privacy book and render this much depth and compassion, it had to be you. Amazing! Grace, you're more than a quiet and skillful authority in intel, you're a strong woman of faith. Hamil Harris, Former Veteran Staff Writer for the Washington Post; Chaplain, Baltimore Police Department; and Adjunct Professor, University of Maryland School of Journalism
