Overview

Four Marks of the Healthy Ministry Professional looks at the importance of the shepherd's taking care of him or herself. This book addresses the disturbing fact that the success of those in the ministry often comes at the expense of the person God created them to be. We not only expect our ministers to meet our expectations, but often demand that they meet those expectations in exactly the way we want them to be met. Four Marks of the Healthy Ministry Professional will help you ask the right questions.
