Somebody Is Missing: Leading Through the Authentic Self

Born out of a personal experience of ministry burnout and spiritual exhaustion, Someone is Missing was written to thwart the enemy's attempts to destroy the most relevant and valiant warriors of the Kingdom! To those who are buried under the demands of ministry, the clarion call is sounding with an open invitation to seek for the one missing: "You!"

Someone is Missing encourages readers to reach beyond life experiences, ministry demands, past traumas, and successes and invite their long neglected unique self back into actively living out God's ordained purpose for their lives. Ministry, social circles, family, and professional roles can force us to live up to who people need or want us to be for their own agendas, leaving us depleted, exhausted, or at worst, "burned out."
