Restoring the Broken

Restoring the Broken is a groundbreaking pastoral guide that dares to confront one of the most difficult and often ignored realities in the Church-how to minister to adult perpetrators of sexual misconduct without minimizing justice or betraying victims.

Written by Rev. Dr. Nolan Warner, this book blends biblical theology, psychological insight, and cultural awareness to equip pastors, counselors, and church leaders with the tools needed to navigate the tension between accountability and grace. Drawing from real-life Caribbean contexts, it exposes the silence and complicity that too often surround sexual sin in the church, while offering practical strategies for truth-telling, victim protection, and offender restoration.

Across its pages, readers will find:

• A clear distinction between marital infidelity and clergy sexual misconduct.

• Theological and pastoral frameworks for repentance, discipline, and healing.

• Practical guidelines for discipling offenders while safeguarding victims.

• Cultural insights into the Caribbean church's silence around abuse.

• Policy and structural recommendations to ensure accountability and transparency.

This is not a book of cheap grace. It is a call to costly restoration-where forgiveness never erases consequences, truth walks hand in hand with mercy, and the Church learns to embody both holiness and compassion.

Courageous, compassionate, and uncompromising, Restoring the Broken challenges church leaders to confront sin, protect the vulnerable, and believe in the transforming power of the Gospel for even the most broken lives.
