The Truth About Ministry: The Emotional and Spiritual Cost of Leadership - Paperback

by Larry L. II Charles (Author)

Dr. Charles answered the call to ministry in the year 2000 - not with fanfare, but with faith. He pastored his first church from 2004 to 2009, learning firsthand the weight of leadership and the grace that sustains it. In 2009, he founded The Breath of Life Church, a growing and vibrant community where brokenness is met with healing, and truth is spoken with love.

With over three decades of marriage, six children, and eight grandchildren, Dr. Charles writes not only from the pulpit but from the heart of a husband, father, and grandfather. His academic journey - including a master's and doctorate degree - has deepened his insight, but it is the wilderness of real ministry that has shaped his voice.

The Truth About Ministry is not theory, it is a testimony. It is the whisper heard beneath the broom tree, and the strength found in the cave. Dr. Charles offers this book to every leader who has poured out more than they thought they had - and still longs to be refilled.
