Within the pages of Pastor G.
Thomas Dowie’s book, The Spirit of the Ministry ($21.49,
paperback, 9781498459051; $9.99, e-book, 9781498459068), readers will find a
fascinating piece that pulls together the principles of ministry, leadership,
and succession. The author provides insights on why some ministries succeed and
others fail, and also challenges readers to think about what defines “success”
in ministry.
“Ministry is a divine ‘ecosystem’ that
encompasses the personality traits of individuals, the circumstances that give
rise to their call and the nature of the call itself, and synthesizes these
various elements into a configuration that makes it unique,” said Dowie.
In this book, Pastor Dowie skillfully
explains ministry is a synergy of a divine call, personal factors, and
circumstantial realities. Also important are leadership abilities, which is
also woven into the ministry tapestry. In the end, success is determined by
whether or not the ministry can last through generations.
Pastor G. Thomas Dowie oversees the
Resurrection Power Ministries, with branches in West Africa, US, and Jamaica.
