Too often, revolving-door pastorates, financial worries, and feelings of inferiority plague small congregations. Bivocational ministry can be a welcome solution.\nDennis W. Bickers, a veteran pastor who runs a family business while serving a church, guides readers through the challenges and rewards of bivocational ministry. With a second job providing financial stability, a bivocational pastor can put down roots in a community and remain in a church for a longer period of time. In turn, the church thrives as an effective pastoral ministry develops and funds are used to support more ministries.\nThose who feel called to pastor a church while keeping their full-time job will be encouraged by this book. It contains practical tips on preparing sermons, furthering ones education, setting priorities, and finding appropriate balance in the Christian life as a pastor, family member, and employee. Students in Bible colleges and denominational leaders will also benefit from this book.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0801090997\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0801090997.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bickers, Dennis W.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Books for Life","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45986113061061,"sku":"LFV.0801090997.N","price":186.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/2914\/4773\/files\/0801090997-0.jpg?v=1774026295","url":"https:\/\/www.booksforlife.store\/products\/the-tentmaking-pastor-the-joy-of-bivocational-ministry","provider":"Books for Life","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
