The purpose of this book is to help ministers address the challenges of ministry, nurture a sense of meaning and fulfillment in their work, and truly enjoy what they do. Ramey draws on his own experience as a pastor and teacher of pastors to offer a variety of anecdotes about how to practice ministry with zest. Identifying the internal and external pressures of ministry, he outlines practical steps for tapping into the inner resources that lead to a truly "thriving in ministry."
