"Ouch! When Ministry Hurts" tackles that question for anyone serving Christ --- whether in full-time ministry, in a part-time role or as a volunteer --- and aims to encourage you through:

Scripture examples when things went great or when it all fell apart.
The author's experiences --- good, bad, funny and sad --- through fifty years of ministry, starting on campus, then as a pastor, and finally with military kids at the Army's Fort Carson. Will has seen, if not all, a lot!
Anecdotes from others in ministry.
Plus a good amount of humor, because tears without laughter is a sad state indeed!

Endorsement:

A large portion of my current assignment in the Body of Christ is to help wounded servants. Will Sanborn's book, "Ouch! When Ministry Hurts," is a tremendous tool to help Christian workers gain perspective and perseverance in their specific ministry assignments. Every Christ-one who is serving in any capacity needs to read this book. Highly recommended!"

%Scott Mathis, President of the Berean Fellowship of Churches

Serving in ministry often comes with misconceptions from those in the community you serve. Who would not love to get paid to hang out with kids or adults, take them to do fun things, and talk to them about their faith? But the reality is, ministry is often difficult and quite lonely. In his book, "Ouch! When Ministry Hurts," Will Sanborn talks about the elements of ministry that often get neglected. He provides amazing insight from his own experiences, while encouraging those serving in any sort of ministry capacity. I wish I'd had this book as I was starting my journey, but I love that I have it as an encouragement now as I continue pursuing ministry.

%Hope Mango, Club Beyond Community Director (Young Life Military), Fort Hood, Texas
