Staying fresh, serving with joy Paul Mallard, IVP (2015)
Five stars
This down to earth, honest and well-grounded book provides a rich resource of advice, wisdom and challenging comment to all bearing the burden and privilege of Christian ministry. It has been a joy to read and will remain a valued part of my Christian library.
Focussed on those in full-time ministry, it also had much to offer the spouses of ministers and any engaged in other work which they regard as their calling from God.
The whole book provides invaluable advice arising from the author’s many years of experience and resulting wisdom. Always encouraging, it addresses challenging issues that need to be explored. It has a down to earth, honest approach in which Paul Mallard has the knack of coming alongside his readers to explore these issues in a loving way.
Each of the fourteen chapters addresses a particular issue and/or potential pitfalls arising from the demands of ministry, maintaining one’s own walk with God and caring for one’s marriage.
