Ministry is painful. Anyone who has been in ministry for more than a week will tell you as much. In his book, Understanding Your Pain Threshold, Pastor Gerald Brooks guides us through the different pains that come hand in hand with ministry. Pastor Brooks not only describes the ways ministers experience pain, but he also outlines ways to deal with it so that you, your ministry, your church, and your relationship with God can not only survive the pains of ministry, but thriveand grow.
