Sinopsis

Many books focus on how to grow a church and "succeed" as a pastor, but few help clergy cope with the daily pressures they face in juggling the demands of ministry, family, and personal ambitions. David Horner overturns the notion that pastors must accept disobedience in some aspects of life to thrive in others. Examining his thirty years of pastoral ministry, Horner mines seven key challenges that pastors must face well in order to restore and maintain a healthy balance. Church leaders and those who love them will find this book a practical and biblical guide that reinvigorates their calling.

De la contraportada

The Seven Challenges of Highly Driven Pastors

If you have served on a church staff for any length of time, you've almost certainly dealt with unhealthy expectations. Too many pastors embrace a hard-driving ministry that borders on burnout, convincing themselves they are being obedient to God's will. In reality, putting too much energy into one area of life or ministry causes you to neglect others.

With thirty years of pastoral experience behind him, David Horner knows the many challenges pastors face. In A Practical Guide for Life and Ministry, Horner shows how to
• balance the demands of your calling
• sharpen your vision
• grow a team
• cultivate humility
• learn through failure
• embrace change
• fight spiritual dryness

Developing a well-balanced approach to responsibilities and passions will equip you to thrive in the face of the many challenges of ministry. This book can show you the way.

"This book is filled with godly, biblical, and practical wisdom for those who shepherd the people of God. With years of experience under his pastoral belt, David Horner well understands the blessings and challenges of ministry. You will be edified and encouraged by this work. It will help you find balance as you humbly serve those entrusted to your care by our Lord."--Danny Akin, president, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
