Great ministers don't just happen. Great falls from ministry don't just
happen either. A complex mix of factors both internal and external test
the limits of your ability to minister wholeheartedly over the long
haul. Senior pastor Brad Hoffmann and licensed professional counselor
Michael Todd Wilson work with pastors removed from their place of
service. The common experiences of these pastors revealed patterns that
consistently contributed to burnout, ineffectiveness and moral failure.
If such patterns can be predicted, the authors reasoned, can they be
prevented? Preventing Ministry Failure
is a personal guidebook for pastors and other caregivers to prepare
them to withstand common pressures and to flourish in the ministry God
has called them to. Work through the exercises and reflections
individually or in conversation with your peers, and you'll find
yourself better equipped for the challenges of vocational ministry, and
more conscious of the presence of God leading you on and restoring your
soul.
