Ministry Staying Power: In For The Long Haul (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798413639795)

'Ministry Staying Power - In for the Long Haul' is for anyone on the adventurous but demanding journey of ministry leadership. It is especially written to help Pastors and leaders navigate the extraordinary challenges they will face by addressing the heart issues that undermine the ability to sustain the course.

Ministry leadership is incredibly testing and many don't last the distance. The reasons for this are varied and complex but the reality is that many trials will cut deep into your heart. With all the wonderful blessing and fulfilment in ministry, you will also inevitably face personal criticism, the betrayal of those you thought you could trust, the rejection of people leaving the church, the disappointment of unrealised expectations and the anguish and impact of your own mistakes, just to name a few!

This book removes the glamour view of ministry and looks at the hard realities, hurdles and vulnerabilities that cause many leaders to sink into discouragement and despair, stumble and give up. More importantly it discusses the ways to overcome those battles to grow and gain victory along the way, so that the leader stays for the long haul to finish well, for the glory of Christ!
