Book Summary
Mae Williams shares her insights into thoughts that must be deeply owned by aspiring, new and experienced ministers. Known as a teaching minister, Williams urges ministers to stay intimately connected to God even during their busiest and most trying times. Beginning with short narratives and poetry expressing questions of the heart, aspects of our lives as Christians are presented, interspersed with prayers for greater realization of the depth of God's care for His ministers. Through personal stories and those of biblical characters, Williams illustrates such themes as self-talk, spiritual comfort zones, preparation for launch and mind pain. "Dr. Mae Williams has brought forth a wonderfully helpful book for those of us in ministry. Combining personal examples with insightful reflections of many biblical stories, she has blessed us with ideas and questions to ponder as we reflect on our ministries. She inspires us to take time for personal renewal when we can strengthen our witness, growth, and resolve. This is an encouraging book to be read slowly when we go off alone to consider who we are and what we are about. It is delightfully written. I have no doubt you will enjoy it." —Rev. Dr. Robert S. Henderson, Director, Pastoral Counseling Center, Inc., Glastonbury, Connecticut
