"Make this book your companion. Dr. Beeke speaks with you as a mentor and friend."
--Mark Kelderman
Many pastors enter ministry with enthusiasm but struggle to maintain that same energy, joy, and spiritual vitality over the years, especially in a long pastorate.
In this warm, practical, and personal book, Joel Beeke draws on nearly fifty years of pastoral experience to help ministers cultivate the habits, convictions, and spiritual disciplines necessary for lifelong fruitfulness. He addresses everything from personal piety and family life to preaching, leadership, criticism, physical health, and perseverance. Here is wise counsel for pastors who want not merely to remain in ministry but to thrive in it.
Written with the heart of a shepherd and the wisdom of a seasoned mentor, Thriving in Lifelong Ministry is an invitation to pursue a ministry marked by joy, enthusiasm, and enduring usefulness in the service of Christ.
The church needs pastors who are thriving. This book aims to help them do just that.
