Lori Wilhite and Brandi Wilson dug deep and shared much sorrow and encouragement in order to bring them to the place where they could help others find renewed joy and meaning in their leadership roles through the discussions and encouragement in this book. They identified 10 universal challenges, including discouragement, criticism and balance and set out to provide a manual to address these ministerial issues.
As a former pastor’s wife and associate pastor myself of 15 years, I found this resource extremely relevant. Leading and Loving It peeks into the authors’ lives in ministry and provides biblical insight for dealing with leadership challenges. You will get tools to help regain or maintain the joy God offers as you follow Him in this calling on your life. You will rest in the knowledge that God, knowing your weaknesses and shortcomings, has called you to this work and role. You will realize you don’t have to face life and leadership alone. By following the guidelines in this book, you’ll find God has not deserted you; you are not alone in your struggles. Buy it. Read it. Do it. You will not be disappointed!
