DESCRIPTION

In this book, John Galloway provides new and veteran pastors with insights on establishing and maintaining a vital parish ministry while remaining invigorated by the practice of ministry. Drawing on the image of a congregation as a family, Galloway uses anecdotes to describe the life of a congregation and the life of a pastor, who have both been called to be the body of Christ. Poignant, memorable, and often humorous, Galloway's reflection derive from his own personal experiences as a pastor. This book uniquely addresses the many challenges facing today's pastors and serves as a practical guide for those entering ministry as well as those veteran pastors who are seeking to remain courageous and excited about parish ministry.
