Practicing Ministry in the Presence of God 
Theological Reflections on Ministry and the Christian Life

Practicing Ministry in the Presence of God presents a new paradigm for church ministry–one that is based on fundamental truths of the Christian faith such as the Trinity, union with Christ, and the ’already’ presence of the Holy Spirit in the church. This new paradigm can help busy pastors avoid ’burnout’ in the ministry and model Trinitarian, New Testament patterns of ministry to their people. Practicing Ministry in the Presence of God reflects the best of recent New Testament scholarship, sensitivity to the contexts of globalized postmodern cultures dominated by digital media, and practical applications for Christian life, discipleship, worship, and mission.
