Book Description
Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.

Book Description
The Secret of a Successful Christian Ministry is a short work inspired by a burning passion to ensure that contemporary Christian ministries thrive under a leadership that is solidly anchored in the Lord Jesus Christ and in biblical principles for leading the congregations of Christ. Drawing strength from the idea that the shepherd is the single most important factor that makes the difference between success and failure in Christian ministries, the book discusses a series of factors that could ensure a successful ministry for the Christian leader from the time he first receives his calling from God to the time he finishes his life’s course. The presentation is illustrated with a wealth of biblical examples, contemporary real ministry cases and historical anecdotes which give an insight into why some ministers have failed and why others have succeeded. Obviously inspired by the Holy Spirit to improve the leadership of the church in these end times, the book is not only an invaluable asset to any Christian minister who is eager for success in his calling but also a fruitful addition to the library of the average reader.

By following the advice in this book, you can build a team that is successful in achieving its goals while being supportive and compassionate towards one another. Dustin Alley, Lead Pastor, Liberty Baptist Church, Bristol, CT It was an excellent reminder of the responsibilities of the leader in "any" church leadership roll, as well as those that are called to paid positions within church ministry. I found the fifth chapter to be the most impactful for me personally, and what I am currently working on in myself. Aaron Taylor - Director of Safety and Security - Connection Church If you are in a position to lead people, you need this book. Super relational, super practical and has a "can do" spirit. James' heart to lead others as well as share best practices from years of ministry shines through. It really feels like I'm reading a book from someone who wants to help people be effective leaders - but not in a "preachy" way. It is a down to earth, practical way of understanding the nature of leadership in ministry. In leadership, one size does not fit all, and this book is instantly applicable. In a genre of leadership books, this one stands out as one that presents Biblical wisdom, demonstrates caring for others and is instantly easy to apply to my life. I'm a big fan of the relationship first mentality. Joseph McGarvey- Pastoral Assistant and Sacred Cows- Podcast Host A quick read that is very well done and helps individuals in ministry prioritize what is important. As leaders we are obligated to treat our volunteers well, and show them that we are all working together and care about them. While that may be easy to forget sometimes, James' guidance on helping volunteers feel valued is crucial. Chris Lawrence - Church Safety Director - The Forge Christian Ministries This book is not only for church safety teams, but truly any ministry within the church or place of worship. The suggestions are extremely practical and applicable to betting the operations of the church and any environment where individuals are serving. I strongly recommend it.

Book Description
This book comes out of years of reflection, failures, and some successes in the task of reaching out to others with the gospel. Many Christians think of the task of mission as an entirely verbal activity, when perhaps the best kept secret of New Testament teaching about mission is that it involves a whole range of activities that explicitly promote Christ to the world and draw others to him, and only a few of them involve speaking. Without diminishing or downplaying the importance of speaking the gospel, John Dickson shows that, on the other hand, downplaying the range of activities that promote Christ to the world has its own set of problems. It can make those who are not confident about speaking—of anything, let alone Jesus—feel inadequate and self-conscious in the task of reaching out to others. Equally, it can make those who do have a flair for speaking feel as though they are fulfilling Christ’s mission just by talking. But the reality is that the Lord wants our whole life, not just our lips, in the task of bringing the gospel to the world. Every facet of our lives can be used by God to promote the news of his power and mercy. In this practical guide to the biblical art of sharing your faith, John Dickson offers refreshing insight into the ways that all Christians can and should be involved in spreading the good news of Jesus. While not all Christians are called and gifted to become evangelists, we are all called to promote the gospel through a wide range of activities—prayer, financial partnership, good deeds, godly lives, public worship, daily conversation, etc.—with and without our lips. As readers engage with this book, grapple with its arguments and hear the stories of people coming to faith, they will be inspired to see the whole of life as significant for bringing the gospel to the world, and they will be liberated out of guilt and self-consciousness in evangelism into becoming perfectly natural promoters of Jesus Christ.
