If you are in ministry you have had those moments where life just seems like an endless routine and you are spinning your wheels going nowhere.  You wake up in the morning and head out the door to work more concerned about the task list you did not finish yesterday than you are about what God is going to do today.  The simple things that you used to tackle with little effort have now become big things and you can not figure out how to survive.  The pressure is mounting and you need to get off or you will blow up.

Wayne Cordiero’s book, Leading On Empty is a great read for those of you who are at that stage and those who don’t ever want to get to that point in their life.  Wayne shares how he went through a time where he did not know if he was going to make it and shares how he got through it.  In a very open and honest approach he has shared his heart.  Not only from his perspective  but with a desire to help others through it and keep the rest of us from getting to that point.

“Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.  Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it with serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you are in ministry for long you will hit the wall where it does not seem like fun anymore and I truly believe that this is a book that will set those who are in ministry up for making it through the long haul.  There is advice for even those who are getting started to use and stay focused on the life that God called them too.
