Product Description

In spite of good intentions, too many Christian workers today burn out, suffer moral lapses, or just get discouraged and quit. How can you avoid failing as a Christian leader? Ajith Fernando believes that much ministry failure results from neglect of the basics of the faith. Too often today’s church is riveted on ministry technique to the neglect of leadership lifestyle. In Fernando’s own words: “Perhaps the greatest need in the training of leaders today is to provide guidelines to help them live as biblical men and women.”

In this book, Fernando identifies the foundational elements that allow you to be both effective and joyful in your service. He shows from Jesus’ own ministry that relating to the people you minister to, retreating from busyness to prayer, being affirmed and empowered by God, discipling younger leaders, and gaining strength from God’s Word must be at the heart of your ministry.
