Ministry Stinks - Melanie Saward

Ministry is hard. Surprisingly hard. It's absolutely possible to give up, resent it, reject it, suppress it and any other survival mechanism that leaders employ to make sense of it all. Whilst conversation around leadership might focus on strategies and concepts for success, this enlightening book focuses on the happenings within the leader that can lead to discouragement and frustration.

Ministry Stinks is a very honest look at the aspects of ministry that make it particularly challenging and provides practical tools for mastery. It is possible to have great joy in leading, as the author discovered! Melanie J. Saward demonstrates this by encouraging the reader to participate with God's methods to be shaped into the leaders that can stand the test of time.
