Starting with Spirit is a spiritual and professional resource for new pastors, their family members, and congregations, as well as ministers in every season of ministry who seek to grow in vitality and skill in the ongoing adventure of ministry. For more than thirty years, Bruce Epperly has followed the call of the spirit, moving through his vocations as a congregational pastor, university chaplain, seminary and university professor, and seminary administrator. Drawing on these experiences, he addresses the new pastor's transition from seminary student to congregational leader; pastoral authority; the 'honeymoon;' boundaries; death; the pastor's spiritual life, health, and relationships; the role of the associate pastor; and continuing education.

Industry Reviews
Starting with Spirit invites the new pastor to say 'yes' not only to the adventure of ministry but 'yes' to wholeness in ministry over a lifetime. It explores the habits and practices that enable pastors to nurture the sense of call that brought them into ministry in the first place—to nurture the call over years of excellent and effective ministry that gives glory to God and brings joy to self, family and friends. 'Healthy and effective ministry is the result of the interplay of intentionality and grace,' says Bruce Epperly. Here is an invitation to claim both. May the adventure begin!
