Each year, State Farm Insurance publishes the ten most dangerous traffic intersections in America. Pastors Jim Henry and Jay Dennis have followed suit in this book in which they make known the ten most dangerous intersections for churches to navigate today. 
Their knowledge and advice is born from a spirit of experience and wisdom. Both men pastor large churches that are making a difference in their communities. They both share similar perspectives on leading a twentieth century church into the twenty-first century and dealing with a thoroughly postmodern twenty-first century paradigm. Dangerous Intersections is relevant to any church in any location seeking to be the body of Christ to the world.

Keeping Life in Perspective: Sharpening Your Sense of What's Important

Jim Henry's stories defy convention. There are no easy answers, no quick fixes. Although the plots vary—from a corpse returning to visit his family weeks after his burial, to the musings of a congressman grappling with the weight of history, to a wealthy family's elaborate plot to cheer their mysteriously wounded mother—all express a sense of the extraordinary in the ordinary, the absurd in the everyday.
Henry's characters are for the most part misfits, outsiders looking in on a world whose seemingly natural order is turned upside down. In a throw-away culture obsessed with sex and drugs, money and God, they struggle to connect with what is real while trying to convince themselves that anything is. And yet in the midst of their existential searching there remains always Henry's quirky sense of humor. As one character says, “Anything is possible,” and in this collection anything and everything happens.

Sins of Pearl

Pearl Johnson, unknown to her but obvious to almosteveryone else, falls in love with a younger man.¿ Due to the heavy baggage of a yet-to-be-terminated marriage whichwas doomed from its beginning, strict obedience to religious dogma, herfamily's mores, and a strained relationship with her grown daughter, Pearl hasdifficulty accepting that she has the right to enjoy her own being, life, andthe pursuit of happiness.Widower Bob Johnson, with three grown children, isclueless about what the future holds for him.¿He only knows that he was happily married for almost thirty years and isdubious even thinking about a second relationship, fearing that it would leadto disappointment because he would always be comparing the new women to hisdeceased beloved.¿ Buried in loneliness,he becomes heavily involved in volunteer work and begins to imbibe a bit toomuch in self-pity and alcohol.This story of love and internal conflict takes placeamid the wonderfully complex, yet beautiful, sometimes tragic, life inHaiti.¿ Guidance comes from two unlikelyfriendships...a¿ Voudoun priest and aHaitian engineer. Fate's interventionin the relationship is best capsulated by the Voudoun, who says, "God works in strange and mysterious ways."As with all of Jim's novels, Sins of Pearl iswritten to entertain. Hopefully, thereader will laugh a little, cry a little, and think a little. It's clash of cultures and comparisons ofreligious doctrine may cause some to think, which is good.
