Surviving and Thriving in Ministry

By Justin W. Tull

Within these pages Dr. Tull shares the poignant stories and rich insights that shaped his life and enriched his ministry. These "life lessons" did more than simply improve his ministerial effectiveness; they were often the difference between bitterness and forgiveness, isolation and community, burnout and renewal. Many of these insights came with an ample share of negative fallout. The author's intent in sharing his unique take on ministerial life is that readers might claim these "lessons" as their own-and do so earlier in their journey and without all the personal struggle. The author's hope for those who answer the call to ministry is not that they merely survive all the pressures, distractions, and struggles that come with the job, but that they are able to sustain, in the very midst of ministry, a sense of meaning, purpose, and passion.
