Being called by God to enter into full-time ministry is serious and sacred. The excitement of total focus and constantly moving closer to God is blunted by the reality of working with and for people who can be demanding, judgmental, and often critical of what you do. At the same time, it is one of the most fulfilling and affirming careers a person can have. The opportunity to share your personal walk with God with others and help them on their journey is beautiful, challenging, and full of personal opportunities to grow, guide, and grapple with faith issues that help you proclaim and display what the Good News is all about. This short book is full of simple advice, guidance, warnings, and blessings to expect and will give you insight and help that was learned from a half century of ministry. Ministry is not a job, it’s a way of life. The on-duty hours are 24/7 and the impact touches every part of your personal life, family life, decisions, and your personal walk with God. Whether you are simply considering going into ministry or have been in ministry for several years, there are loads of lessons, insights, and how-to helps in this book. Whacking Elephants is practical, honest, and will force you to ask yourself some tough questions about going into ministry or even remaining in it.
