Pastoral ministry is more challenging than ever with unique, complicated burdens and expectations some have not experienced in previous generations. Because of this, the number of pastors who start with a great zeal for the work, quickly crash and burn and are left with a battered faith and family. This book seeks to identify those unique challenges, diagnose the problem, propose a biblical solution, and then guide the pastor and his family to embrace these challenges while shepherding the family through them.

In my eighteen (18) years in ministry, the Holy Spirit has revealed to me that the value and importance of marriage is decreasing at an alarming rate. The devil has also reduced the standard of marriage to a point where the coming generation will not know the sacredness of marriage. Compromise about holy matrimony has since become a daily sermon in our churches and ministries. Single people do not know how to locate a proper life partner, meaning a similar bone and flesh of your bones and flesh of your flesh (Mr. or Mrs. Right). High rate of divorces or unhappy marriages are a product of deception, delusion, and lack of advisors who are called and ordained by the Holy Spirit. Im a professional and qualified spiritual marriage counselor, and God has chosen me to stand in the gap and reveal to this perverted generation the truth about marriage. Note: God does not call the qualified, but he qualifies the called.

December 26, 1999. The Reverend Ananias Divine couldn’t believe his eyes. The Church was so enormously packed that they had to bring in about two hundred more chairs to accommodate the mass of the Congregation. While the whole nation and the people in the rest of the world were overwhelmingly concerned about Y2K, the people in the small town of Prairie View, Texas had only one major concern on their mind: Reverend Divine was retiring as the Pastor of the Divine Temple Holiness Church, and the Reverend Bruce Baltimore was to take over. Reverend Divine was a godly man whom everybody looked up to with the outmost respect. People loved and respected him all their lives. Reverend Baltimore, on the other hand, did some things in his life that many would feel would make him unworthy to be Pastor. Bruce Baltimore constantly reminded the Congregation that he was a living testimony, that if God could show grace and mercy, and save a wretched and useless man like him, that he could save anybody who trust in Him and call upon His name. Like the prodigal son, Bruce Baltimore was on the verse of losing everything: his job, his ball games, his marriage, his son, his daughter, respect from his dog, his fi nance and material things, his sanity, and even his own life, both spiritually and physically. But Bruce fi nally comes to himself and accepts God’s amazing grace. Readers can fi nd out more about the life of Bruce and his family as his story unravels in Living Testimony.
