Achieving a balance between work and family is a challenge for any working parent, but can be especially difficult for those experiencing the unique demands of Christian ministry.

Factors such as living family life in the goldfish bowl or tied accommodation, or the extra scrutiny received by the minister’s children, can each take their toll.

This helpful guide takes an honest look at both the negative and positive aspects of being a church leader, setting out a biblical framework for managing the pressures and celebrating the benefits.
