an essential guide for clergy and future ministry leaders. Dwight's
wisdom from over forty years of ministry as a pastor and

"This book is a must-read for anybody hoping to lead effectively
and finish well in their ministry. Dr. Perry's writing is a
reflection of everything I personally know him to be: candid, wise,
gracious, and helpful. His insight is valuable for leaders in all
stages of their ministry; his heart and good intent to help
spiritual leaders and mentor through his words and experience is
clear on every page."
