Ministry is hard. Hundreds of pastors leave their post every month. Finish. Period. Going the Distance in Ministry provides practical, biblical strategies for reaching the finish line in ministry service. Chapters include assessments of current church culture, some of the unique character traits of those called to ministry, five steps to the finish line, and lessons on endurance for the journey.
