Book description
In previous generations, ministers often enjoyed high job
satisfaction. They could be clear about who they were and what they
were for. Today, they are increasingly anxious about role confusion,
overload and burnout. Drawing on his abundant experience in hands-on
ministry and ministry education, Gordon Oliver speaks directly, with
faith and with hopefulness to these realities. He explores the
covenant that exists between ministers and their churches and provides
a clear evaluation of the structures, constraints and freedoms of
ministry. With real-life stories and insightful questions for
reflection, his thought-provoking guide helps ministers, and those who
support them, work together to fulfil ministers' true calling.
