Publisher's Description
Studies reveal that many pastors are stressed out, discouraged, and tempted to leave the ministry. Giving practical advice and often drawing on examples from his own experience, Lowell O. Erdahl offers support and wise counsel for new and experience clergy alike. Erdahl shows that to provide life-giving ministries, pastors must develop ten key habits, including: bonding with their people having something to say and saying it well becoming lifelong learners picking their battles wisely and fighting them fairly exercising gift-evoking leadership, and respecting boundaries "We are called in Christ to be life-giving pastors -- proclaiming, bearing, and sharing in attitude, words, and action the new abundant, full 'Life,' with a capital L, that Christ came to give."

“Effective ministry doesn't just happen. The most gifted pastor may be a failure in ministry; the most ordinary may have an outstanding ministry. The difference is the cultivation of the kinds of down-to-earth patterns of living that Erdahl discusses.”
