Testimonials
"Although seminaries drill the budding minister in theology, homiletics and parsing verbs, they generally fall dreadfully short in equipping a neophyte pastor to navigate through the muddled maze of ministry, the minefield of church politics and the daily grind of the mundane. This book is a gold mine of practical, hands-on, and gut-level advice and help for ministers of the gospel. Reading this book before I entered the ministry would have saved me a lot of time, stress and headaches"
Richard Chip Kirk, International Minister, Operation Mobilization
I have known Glyn for over 20 years. Even as a 'boy' in seminary he was able to speak into situations with refreshing simplicity and clarity. Nothing has changed, except perhaps for a lot more grey hairs caused by the years of ministry experience needed to write this book. If you want to stave off the grey hairs and thrive in ministry, this easy to read book will be worth the investment.
