Over the years, I have represented many churches assisting them with their legal matters. Pastor's Guide to Church Law is based on my law practice experience. In it I endeavor to introduce you to the common legal issues I daily see in my office. My list of clients includes small to very large churches with varied doctrine and belief systems. Chances are your organization would fit in my client list. This book is not intended to be exhaustive work on church law but representative of my practice with the intent of introducing church leaders to important laws and legal issues which apply to them. My Clarion Call is to alert church leaders to these laws and help them. If asked, lawyers would say "issue recognition" is key. Recognizing the legal issue at hand is critical for the church leader to know how to resolve it. This guide addresses key nonprofit legal issues. I have presented principles with examples which if followed will place your ministry on a more solid foundation. The book is peppered with illustrations to bring home a point. But you will not find many court cases with long opinions nor lengthy statutes. I have purposely avoided this because I wanted this book to flow with a more narrative rhythm. As such, we will start with the beginnings of a new church being formed, then through its operational years (staff, finances, property purchases, maintenance) through its dissolution. This is a truth I have discovered- regardless of the sign out front, churches face similar legal issues. Let's look at them together!

Perfect Nightstand Organizer and Looks Amazing
Color: Dark Brown
This valet tray is exactly what I was looking for. The wood looks great and feels sturdy, and it keeps all my everyday items in one place. I use it for my keys, wallet, watch, and phone, and my nightstand looks much neater now. Its great to keep all the thing you need when leaving the house in one place. It’s the perfect size, well made, and looks nice enough to leave out on display. Would definitely recommend this if you want an easy way to keep your essential items organized or need a solid gift idea.

Great for entryway organization
Color: Light Brown
This is a great addition to an enterior entry surface to reduce clutter. I place wallet, knife, keys, and other items here when I return and haven't misplaced a wallet or keys since. It looks great, resists dust well, and is durable. The perfect size for a sofa table, or entry table.

Slight delamination
Color: Black
I purchased this to better contain all the stuff I keep in my pockets when I change pants. I keep it on my nightstand. The size is perfect for my needs. It seems fairly well made. However as others have mentioned, the bottom rubber lining arrived slightly delaminated. In my case, it’s not a huge issue as the area is a very thin line. I would recommend that the manufacturer do a little better job with the gluing process during assembly and pay more attention performing a QC check. Other than this small complaint, I am satisfied with this tray.
