Book overview 

Life In Ministry is an honest and candid non-fiction account of Pastor Terry Sweany’s experiences within the world of church ministry.

Life In Ministry alternates between a non-fiction narrative–comprised of influential moments within the author’s life as a pastor–and commentary on the contemporary state of ministry. Life In Ministry is surprisingly honesty about the sometimes questionable practices of churches and their leaders, when it was a far less celebrity-driven endeavor than it is today. Sweany is extremely candid both about his own experiences within the church, as well as what is it generally like to work for a church.
