29 Ways To Thrive As A Minister: One Hundred Years of Ministry by Pastor Graham Baird

ALHAMBRA, Calif. - Nov. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Green Leaf Press, Inc. is proud to offer the debut book from Pastor Graham Baird, One Hundred Years of Ministry: A Practical Guide for Pastors and Church Leaders. Graham has written the “Go To” book for pastors, seminary students, and church leaders as they face the everyday demands of modern church life.  The book is practical, inspiring and intertwines funny, colorful stores and memorable insights from Baird’s four generational family of ministers: Great-grandfather Jesse, Grandfather James, Father Don and Graham.

“The idea for the book came as I talked to a lot of church leaders, pastors, elders, who were struggling saying that they don’t know what to do in a particular situation,” said Graham.  I found myself talking about how I can help them by remembering what my grandpa would have done.  I’m a fourth generation pastor and it’s like a genetic disease in my family”

As one reads through his book, one gets a sense that Baird is giving us the inside story on Christian ministry; how pastors respond to the unexpected, how they leverage opportunities and how they handle disappointments and failures. Graham Baird is a born raconteur with many stories to tell and he is a minister with lessons to be shared.
