"This book addresses a major need."-Christian Standard Reports from churches indicate that poor interpersonal relationships are the primary reasons for minister failure. Though they are taught the important skills of how to interpret the Bible, how to discern and articulate doctrine, how to direct worship services, and more, ministers are eventually faced with a congregation. While they may frequently call on some skills and others not at all, interpersonal relationship skills are vital to any ministry. This book is designed to aid ministers, seminary students, denominational leaders, and church members nurture their relationships with one another and with God, and to help the understanding of oneself and of others that is part of the minister's task. These essays, from the faculty of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, focus on four areas of concern: relationship with oneself, with family, in the church, and in the community. Above all, these lessons are devised to aid in nurturing a secure setting for effectiveness in the ministry and in service to God.
What would YOU like for God to do in YOUR life? In the book, Hope --Endings are sad. Beginnings are scary, so find comfort in knowing you can have ‘hope’ in the middle of any crisis, you can walk on a journey that may be familiar to you or someone you know and watch how God does answer prayers, even in the midst of hurt, and can allow you to see ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ or a rainbow after the rain. You can also watch God work through careers that, as some would say, are vehicles that allow God to use people for His glory. And, isn’t that what we’re ‘all’ supposed to be living for? If we concentrate on pleasing God, instead of everyone else, life becomes more peaceful and less confusing. Enjoy this journey........
