Preachers (usually) don’t explain it this way, and Christians don’t (usually) think of it this way. But when all is said and ...

This is a heartfelt book. I accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord in 1977. I answered Jesus’ call to ministry in 1980. So, I have been in ministry for many years. And being in ministry I am familiar with the unique issues people go through who serve the Lord. I have been the pastor of two churches during this time.

For the first 17 years or so, I was bi-vocational; the Lord provided for my family and I through various jobs and eventually in a ...
