The conversation
“I didn’t write this book because I survived a wolf. I wrote it because I was one.”

Wolves in Wool: The Shepherd’s Warning examines hidden compromise, pastoral failure, repentance, and the work of rebuilding trust. The focus is what leaders and churches can do before private compromise becomes public catastrophe.
