The Uniqueness and Danger of Ministry: A Soul Health Manual for Ministers and Their Families (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385254927)

The most important vocation on the face of the planet is Christian ministry. The most important public speaking is gospel preaching. Therefore, the most unique and dangerous vocation on the face of the planet is professional Christian ministry. This book addresses these uniquenesses and dangers by describing why professional ministry is so unique and dangerous, what ministerial soul health is, the work of nurturing soul health, and the wisdom of including the minister's family in this soul health strategizing. A particular focus of this book is on the often unsung minister's wife's role. This book also seeks to demystify the spiritual formation movement as the most robust means of Christian soul health. Reading this book will help professional ministers discover that they're not crazy or alone as they cope with the too often unspoken uniqueness and danger of ministry. Lay ministers reading this book will develop a new respect for their professional ministers and a new resolve to pray for and support them.
