"It is now over twenty years ago that the Lord first planted the seed in my mind for my original book, Sacrifice the Pastor. As a Baptist pastor, I had noticed a tendency of individuals telling me confidential issues of their lives and then within a few months, they either turned against me or left the Church. I realized that in some way I had become the sacrifice for their sins, rather than the Lord Jesus.
Now, over twenty years later, I understand that this is not just a transaction that takes place with pastors. As compassionate Christian leaders, wherever we are, listening to the hurts of others, we can be placed in a position to become a sacrifice.
This can happen as businessmen, therapists, school teachers, principals, small group leaders, church staff professionals, or simply a friend who listens with a kind heart. Therefore the book was not only relevant for pastors, but also for all those who found themselves in leadership positions. Thus, the new title Sacrifice the Leader.
This book addresses these issues and helps us to keep our focus on Jesus as our sacrifice. The principles presented will help keep us in unity so that the work of the Kingdom of God will progress here on earth."
-Paul L. Cox
"Paul Cox has not only written a concise treatise on the subject of Sacrifice the Pastor, he has lived the principles he communicates. He has placed into print what others have talked about. This book is a great resource for bringing balance into the role of pastoring and counseling. I recommend every pastor to read this book and assimilate the truths within."
Phil Dowdy, Senior Pastor New Life Family Center, Elizabeth City, North Carolina
"Dr. Paul L. Cox, one of the most powerful deliverance pastors in ministry today, has now written an insightful, spiritual and psychological primer on delivering leaders from the sacrifice altar. In a field where many are prone to 'rescue' the lost and become 'victims' themselves, this book is a fresh reminder there is but one Savior."
