Description
I could do ministry a lot better if given a second try.
"As I look back on my forty years at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY, I wish I had a mulligan. This book lists seven things I'd do differently and seven I'd do about the same. They are written in hopes they'll be a source of encouragement for those growing weary and losing heart. I pray my observations will inspire others to conclude, ‘If he can do it, I can, too.'"
In this book I share both the joys and sorrows of my ministry, both the successes and failures. I'm going to be as transparent as possible in hopes that it will encourage ministers to stand firm in the faith and be faithful unto death. If just one minister is motivated to pick up the sword of the Spirit and re-enter the battle, it will be well worth the effort.

Marie S, Reviewer
Excellent book on what a minister of 50 years would have kept doing or not kept doing in the ministry. I really liked how he did start out with the negative things of what he wouldn't do again but even in those sections brought out positives on ways others can not make the same mistakes. Then he ended the book with the positive things that he would keep the same even with some things that may have been negative. It was a very uplifting and encouraging book and I highly recommend it.
Rosa S, Educator
This should be required reading for every seminarian who intends to pastor. An inspiring and thoughtful review of the best and worst of ministry. Easy to read but deep and insightful.
Jonathan J, Librarian
A really thought-provoking book.
It's great to have the opportunity to learn from someone who has trod the path and learnt from his mistakes. The author has the humility to admit that he has made mistakes, the wisdom to learn from them, and the generosity to share the lessons.
