Surviving in Ministry is a book written by committed religious leaders for committed religious leaders. It is an ecumenical work that brings forth the candid views of women and men called to minister to others. Broad in scope, practical in content, it helps us realize that even though there are no easy methods of dealing with ministerial tension, we must not cease to ask pertinent questions on the topic of the relationship between stress and spiritual leadership. Surviving in Ministry helps us to maintain our availability to others in spiritual and emotional need by offering a wide variety of perspectives on "navigating the pitfalls and experiencing the renewals" in ministry.
