Ambition in Ministry

Through a series of polarities, Schnase, a former pastor who knows the yearnings of the clergy, discloses the ambiguity present in pastors, as they struggle to achieve, while keeping their appetities for ambition, excellence, and competition under control. "A balanced and hopeful analysis of one of the shadow sides of the ministry".--Bishop Rueben Job.
