Book Description
The Water Is Always Deeper at the Deep End is an easy to read collection of lessons I have learned over time that are directly related to my attitude towards situations I have faced in my life. I refer to these lessons as Deep Water because thats exactly how I felt; like I was in deep water just trying to survive. Many of those times were very painful, very anxious and very uncertain. These lessons come primarily from people whose paths I have had the privilege of crossing. Theyre not only my experiences but the experiences of others as well. I am in a constant pursuit of wisdom and character development and believe this pursuit lifelong. I believe I can always stand to grow wiser and my character be further developed. I believe this constant pursuit can only help me in my future endeavors and hopefully help you in yours.

Losing My Religion
Author: William C. Mills
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532663730
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
After four years of college and six years in seminary, William Mills was ready for a parish--or so he thought. He didn't realize much of his time would be endless discussions about bagels and coffee, digging ditches, and parking lot condom patrols. For six years, community life was just humming along. Then disaster struck. Mills' life came crashing down when nearly a third of his congregation left in a public power play, causing him to question his faith in himself, in the church, and in God. Marva Dawn, a noted writer of spirituality and ministry, said that being a pastor is like being peppered with popcorn: after a while, you just get tired of it, pack your bags, and move on. However, as Mills himself says, "I was either too stubborn or stupid, so I stayed." Losing My Religion is about the ups and downs, ins and outs, choices and challenges of being a pastor in the twenty-first-century church. It's also about the redemptive power of community life and finding healing and wholeness in a broken world.
