Description: Whether you share God's Word with one person, a small group, or a larger one you are ministering to them. To be a minister is a function, not a position.

1 Peter 4:10
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

    In this frank and honest look at what a true minister is, Taylor Overbey invites you into a world that has been largely misunderstood by the so-called laity.
   
     "In case someone forgot to tell you, we were born into a world at war," says Overbey. "That is why the image of a minister as a pantywaist or a macho chest-thumper is such a devilish distortion. God needs servant-warriors and intimate allies who are going to help set God's people free."

        If you minister according to God's plan it is the greatest and most exciting adventure you will ever go on. If you follow the traditions of men you will find yourself burned out, bored, and wondering why you ever wanted to do this.
     
        Have you also ever wondered what it would be like to serve God full time--to be a full time minister? You won't need to look for the backing of any man-made organization. You will need to look into the scripture, and to know the "still, small voice" of the One that called you.

       This new book shows you what will be required of you before you begin your journey, and how to keep yourself on the right track. Is that desire stirring in your heart? Then come on, this book is written for you.
