It is my story of a lost ministry in a church that was in every way I could imagine the best place in the world for me to be a pastor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI have attempted to tell the story in a way that allows you to live it with me and to feel the joy and the pain I experienced. And I have attempted to analyze what happened, to make sense of it, and to take responsibility for my part in it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI am one of the estimated one in ten ministers who eventually left the ministry after a forced termination. But I still feel a deep affinity for individuals who dedicate themselves to lead congregations, to be present and available, to help, to guide, and to inspire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is my hope that this book will in some way help churches and ministers avoid the trauma I experienced. And if you are a minister who has already experienced a similar loss, it is my aim that this book will provide some comfort and support as you work through what happened. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTim Sledge \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNote: This book is based on excerpts from my spiritual autobiography, \u003ci\u003eGoodbye Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Sledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0999843559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999843550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Insighting Growth Publications Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Tim Sledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441684132095,"sku":"9780999843550","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af8137a1-ccdd-4f30-b929-9695ac56f811.jpg?v=1777192279","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-church-in-my-rearview-tim-sledge-9780999843550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
