description: Many who go into ministry with expectancy and optimism find instead discouragement and regret. Is there a hope for renewal for a new taste of God's grace in serving his people? With Christ Andrew Purves reminds us we move beyond ministry in the mood of Holy Saturday to ministry in the mood of Easter Sunday. And there we find the true basis of hope in ministry. Purves a seasoned teacher of practical theology offers a profound look at the nature of spiritual service that gets beyond superficial critiques and simplistic techniques. He points to true deep joy and hope as we share in Christ's continuing ministry.
