"I was personally challenged and blessed by Out of Exile. Perhaps most of all, I was helped, finding answers to unanswered questions in my own life. As a Clinical Therapist, I plan to recommend this 40 day journey to my clients who are experiencing exile and spiritual confusion or disillusionment."

Pastor, are you trapped in exile? When pastors respond to God’s call, most think they will save the world, but too often they end up on the backside of a desert, what the Bible refers to as "exile." That’s not the worst thing. In many ways, exile is a rite of passage: a preparation for ministry to come. But too often pastors get stuck in exile. Rather than exile being a time of spiritual growth and intimacy with God, it becomes a time of disillusionment and despair, with no clue how to reclaim their lives or ministry.

It doesn't have to be that way.

In Out of Exile, F. Remy Diederich looks at the losses all pastors face in ministry, how the losses create a feeling of “exile,” and then shows how to return from that exile. It is set up as a 40-day devotional journey: short essays followed by questions to help you move through your time of loss to a place of restoration and renewal.
