First Things First: Growing in Pastoral Ministry (Hippo)

Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 9789966003829
Type: Paperback

How to serve God faithfully, listen to his word, and use the lessons God has been teaching to reach out to those who need to hear the message of God's love.

As a young man, Ken Kamau wanted to know how one begins to be a leader, not how one continues to lead a large and successful ministry.

He has now written the book he would have wanted to read as a young pastor. His key insight for church or lay leaders is this: before you step into the spotlight of ministry life, you need to work on the backstage of your life. First Things First is about learning from his mistakes and his successes. He also deals with the practical issues involved in building and nurturing a strong support team, even in a small church with few resources.

First Things First is infused with humor and practical wisdom acquired with a passion to fulfill the Great Commission. It speaks even to those who are not pastors, because, according to Kamau, they too are called to serve God faithfully, listen to his word, and use the lessons God has been teaching to reach out to those who need to hear the message of God's love.
