In addition to foundational teachings, there is an expanded Appendix, in which Apostle Price offers thoughtful, biblical answers to questions he's frequently gotten on topics such as prayer, spiritual and physical discipline, the pastor's salary, balancing family and ministry, and maintaining order in services, among others. His responses, delivered in his engaging signature style make this book the next best thing to having an intimate talk with the iconic leader face-to-face.

Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.
