Getting Rid of the Gorilla

Brian Jones, our senior pastor, latest book Getting Rid of the Gorilla has just been released. Frank Chiapperino, our adults minister, did the companion study guide. Both these guys are top notch! Here is a summary:


Living with an unforgiving heart is like living with a gorilla. The beast follows you everywhere. He squeezes marriages. He stinks up friendships. He growls at family gatherings and beats his chest at church.

An unforgiving heart ruins relationships, affecting everyone and everything you touch. Maybe you’ve tried and failed to forgive someone who’s hurt you. Maybe you aren’t sure you even want to try. In these confessions from Brian Jones’s own struggle, find hope and strength for finally getting rid of the gorilla in your life.
