A Simple Man's Calling - Hardcover

by David M. Self (Author)

This book will lead you on a journey that taught me many life lessons about ministry, the men and women of God, training for ministry and many other things that pertain to living for God. This is a true story of the hurt and pain of failure, overcoming being hurt by those you thought loved you and getting through church abuse. The modern-day church is in trouble and I hope this book can help others that have failed and gotten back up and trying again. Many have almost been destroyed by ministries that have forgotten their first love. Men and women that claim to speak for God have abused the very ones God saved by grace through Jesus shed blood. They have given in to money, prestige and thinking more highly of themselves than they should and that is very dangerous. Not all ministries have made these mistakes but we need to be aware that abuse can and had entered into some ministries. Be watchful and be prayerful. Recognize the signs and pray for leadership. Above all, listen to the Holy Spirit of the living God and move when He says to move. God bless.
