Extinguish My Anguish: An Appreciative Inquiry Into Christian Ministry

For the Seasoned Christian. This volume arose out of the author's frustration with pastors who harshly accuse parishioners of not doing enough in their prayer life, for the church, and on the mission field. Sometimes pastors use phrases like "You're not serving each other" or "You are running the youth away from the church" or "You won't accept change." The author posits instead that Christians should acknowledge what they are doing well in these areas and then imagine ways to expand and improve their ministries. The text uses the ministry of Jesus Christ as a backdrop; how He took people from where they were to where they needed to be through reason and encouragement as opposed to harsh criticism. The book covers the topics of prayer, youth ministry, worship, technology and giving. It contains worksheet areas for individual or group notes and responses.
