    <body><![CDATA[While this book is intended for people serving in full-time ministry, the ideas and principles Anne Jackson writes about could be applicable to many different people serving in different fields. In particular, those who are serving as volunteers in strategic positions within a church would benefit from this book.<br/><br/>The main concept that this talks about is the fact that ministry can be hard. Really hard. There's a common belief held that people in church should always be happy and that any problems a Christian would come across in life can be fixed simply by praying more, reading the Bible more, and just trusting God. This idea is applied even more fully to ministers. Anne Jackson debunks this myth. She writes about the real pain that can be caused by real, fallen people.]]></body>
