Flourishing In The Ministry: Confronting The Challenges Facing Young Ministers - eBook

Too many Christian leaders begin their ministry with great aspirations but stumble when faced with the challenges inherent in full-time ministry.

Flourishing In The Ministry cites the challenges encountered by ministers who are approximately age 20-30 and in their first years of ministry. Drawing on Biblical examples, personal experiences, and interviews with many young leaders, Benjamin Kaufman provides descriptions of the challenges and offers suggestions for dealing with them effectively.

In the last ten years, Dr. Kaufman has coached many young ministers. He has encouraged them to question their ministry assumptions, practice healthy thought patterns, and develop behavioral habits that lead to strong work relationships and balanced marriages.

Flourishing In The Ministry topics include:

Solidifying Your Call to Full-Time Ministry

Knowing Yourself

Lack of Credibility

Dealing with Expectations

Dealing with Criticism

Balancing Ministry and Marriage

If you are a young minister, reading this book will give you insight into potential obstacles that lie along your ministry pathway. If you work with young ministers, this book will give you tools that you can use to teach and encourage the young ministers you coach, mentor, or work alongside.
