Each year, thousands of God's servants leave the ministry confident that they are falling short of the calling given to them. A few years ago, during a deep questioning of his faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. However, he and his wife, Barbara, decided to turn to the Word of God instead, determined to understand God's thinking about success and to evaluate

their ministry from a biblical perspective.

This book describes their journey and their release from the "success syndrome" - the mistaken belief that success in ministry is measured by quantitative church growth. These days, it's easy to be won over by the thought of the world that puts numbers on everything. However, the authors of this book explain that true success in ministry does not lie in numbers, but rather in several key areas: faithfulness, service, love, faith, prayer, holiness and likeness. to Jesus Christ. Their reflections will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper and more complete understanding of success in Christian ministry.
