This is not a book about surviving ministry. It is a book about how to truly enjoy ministry. With keen insights, theological perspectives, and practical advice, Linn offers twenty-two essential keys to keeping your ministry spiritually grounded, focused on its purpose, and intrinsically rewarding. Linn draws on the successes and failures of his own ministry and the experiences of others to reflect on the most basic elements of a fulfilling ministry that are so often lost in the struggle to please the congregation and live up to the expectations placed on ministers by others and by themselves. His prescription of twenty-two essentials to remember, to know, to do, and to not do can be the key to a lifetime of fulfilling and pleasing ministry.
