Why We Quit: The Real Reasons Why Pastors Leave Ministry Forever, plus Proven Strategies to Keep You in Ministry for the Long Haul

It is heartbreaking to see too many GREAT leaders leaving ministry each year. Actually, 4 out of 5 pastors/key leader leave ministry forever before year 5. So I decided to focus my research for my Master's Degree and now my doctorate on the reasons why pastors quit, and what can be done to keep pastors/restore them for the long haul. I compiled my research into a book, my third book, called "Why We Quit." This book certainly applies to ALL pastors and key leaders, whether you have been in ministry 3 months or 40 years Some of the topics covered in the book include 1. How to deal with difficult people/situations 2. Navigating a ministry transition well 3. How to deal with and avoid burnout 4. Recognizing the warning signs of burnout 5. Building and protecting your support teams- and so much more Sometimes funny, sometimes raw and tragic, listen to real pastor's stories- some that left ministry forever and some that have found ways to stay in for the long haul. Whatever season of ministry you may be in, I hope this book will prove a helpful tool to improve your mental, emotional and physical health, your family life and your ministry, now and for many years to come
