This book is a compilation of wisdom from the members of Hope Network Ministries. Think of it as both an introduction and an invitation. It’s an introduction to the practical nature of what Hope Network does. Each chapter is written by someone in the trenches who both understands the challenges of contemporary ministry and has experience in navigating them. It’s also an invitation to reach out to any of the authors of this volume for deeper conversation. They didn’t write their chapters to show off what they know. They wrote them to make you aware of their availability to walk this path with you. While each chapter of this book addresses ministry challenges from a different perspective, they all communicate the same basic message. That message is that you are not alone in your struggle. There is hope in the form of a network of other ministers who are here to assist you.

About the Author:

Hope Network Ministries provides mentoring to church leaders and guidance to church leadership groups across the United States through eleven experienced ministers (Mentoring Partners) working individually or collaboratively. Hope Network understands the difficulties and pressures associated with doing ministry in today’s chaotic, broken, and pluralistic world. Those who choose ministry choose a lifestyle full of emotional strain and spiritual stress. Serving others can be difficult and having someone near who understands and can provide perspective and wisdom can help keep ministers from burning out and leaving ministry altogether. For church leadership groups, experienced ministers from outside the “system” can help those groups gain perspective on their service and provide helpful guidance through new territory as well as movement away from unhealthy patterns.
