"We need to remind ourselves, says Tim Wright, that ministry is a marathon. To survive and thrive in a marathon requires training, pacing oneself, and constantly remembering that the goal lies ahead. To survive and thrive in ministry requires taking care of oneself physically maintaining a vital and disciplined relationship to God, and always pressing on "toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.""--BOOK JACKET. "Through the use of inspirational and engaging quotations, vignettes and training tips, Tim Wright and Lori Woods provide pastors and other clergy with the help they need to develop the perspective and practices necessary for running the ministry marathon."--BOOK JACKET.

Energizing!,
By Greg R. Watling (De Pere (Green Bay) Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ministry Marathon (Paperback)
This book could not have been written at a better time for clergy. Demands are high at home, at church and in the community. Tim Wright's call for us to look at our ministry over the long haul rather the short sprint has been transformational for me. I'm not a runner, but I wanted to buy a pair of running shoes to remind me to keep going even when we're about to "tank". Thought it was so good that I bought it for a friend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

The Ministry Marathon: Caring for Yourself While You Care for the People of God,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Ministry Marathon (Paperback)
I wish I would have read this at the start of ministry it is insightful into the need to take care of yourself so that you can care more deeply for others. The art of self care in ministry is one of the least talked about when applying to do ministy but the most nessacary inorder to stop burn out.
