"Ministry is a joy! Ministry is rewarding and exciting! It says so, right on the label. No one ever told me that ministry can also be difficult, frustrating, thankless and painful. They didn't mention that ministry can be physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting. The demands of ordained and lay ministry can leave one beaten down, depressed, and dejected. It was in the course of parish ministry - in the course of being beaten down and built back up again - that the chapters of this volume were written. This is a book of devotional reflections for lay and ordained Christians in ministry. Some of the chapters may leave you smiling, others may challenge you, and still others may have you scratching your head. There’s something in this book for everyone."
