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!

Actually feels cool at night
Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard
I’ve been using these for several days now and I did notice a difference. I tend to get hot while sleeping, so I was curious if they would actually help, and they do feel cool when you lay on them. I also like that they’re soft and comfortable, not that weird texture some “cooling” products have. So far, I’ve been really happy with them.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!
