The disciplines that produce pastoral effectiveness are not discovered n a seminar, but developed through service to God. Rick Ezell believes effectiveness in ministry has less to do with technique and more to do with personal authenticity. Because the church takes on personality of its leader, the pastor's character, genuiness, and passion become paramount. In Strengthening the Pastor's Soul, Rick Ezell encourages pastors to develop key disciplines--habits that will embolden present work and lead to a lifetime of effective ministry. From finding balance to incororating prayer and worship into daily life, Ezell shows how these practices naturally create a strong ministry. He also discusses how leadership, integrity, and devotion influence ministry--for better or for worse. God expects progress not perfection; let Strengthening the Pastor's Soul strengthen you and help you build a successful ministry--for better or for worse!
