Overview

You learn a lot in seminary, but some things you just can’t learn in a classroom—like what ministry is actually like on a day-to-day basis. There are no classes called “Taking a Day Off,” “Maintaining Sexual Fences,” or “Emotional Survival 101.” In this immensely practical book, veteran pastor James Emery White provides the kind of mentoring pastors desperately need. His insights will help you transform your relationships with staff and church members, develop healthy boundaries, deliver hard truths, avoid spiritually hazardous situations, use your time effectively, and much more.
