A MUST READ!!!

  

Confessions of an Insignificant Pastor: 

What Pastors Wish They Could Tell You!

  

"Risky business is writing a book like this one! If you think a prophet speaking truth to power is high-risk, listen here to a prophet who, by telling the truth to a church in power-failure, speaks power to truth. I loved this book!"      

  

Dr. Leonard Sweet, Drew University, George Fox University, http://www.Sermons.com

  

Mark Elliott's latest book published by FaithWalk Publishers as an imprint of CSS Publishers is available NOW to be shipped! This book is a transparent look into the life of a pastor. Inside us all is a raging dragon of insignificance that finds its roots in the fall of man in the garden of Eden. This book will help you to slay the dragon!

     Fifteen hundred pastors leave the ministry each month! 80% of ministers feel unqualified and discouraged in their role as pastors. 80% of new pastors will leave the ministry within their first five years! 80% of pastors' spouses wish their spouse would choose another profession and feel their ministry spouse is overworked.

  

     70% of pastors constantly battle with depression! 50% of ministers would leave the ministry if they had another way of earning an income! 85-90%of pastors said their greatest problem is dealing with problem people and disgruntled people.

  

     Not only will this book help to encouragevocational ministry leaders but it will also reveal to laity ways that they can pray, encourage, and strengthen their pastors. Be sure to get a copy for yourself and all the pastor's in your life!

  

     Pastor Mark Batterson wrote this book's foreword. This breakthrough book is being endorsed by Dr. Leonard Sweet, Dr. Ed Stetzer, Bill Easum, Dr. George Bullard, Steve Sjogren, Tommy Barnett, Dr. Tom Clegg, Michael James Murphy, Rob Wegner, Nelson Searcy, Chonda Pierce, Dr. Gordon Anderson, Chris Seay, Dr. George Wood, Dr. Wayde Goodall, and Dr, Gary Allen.

"Mark Elliott has written in “Confessions” of those things every ministry leader wishes they had the courage to say, the wisdom to recognize and the discernment to deal with at the many critical junctures on the journey of ministry."

Dr. Tom Clegg, President, CoachNet  

   NEW! Young Pastors' Book

 Dr. Mark Elliott will be writing a timely new book for and about the needs of this new generation of younger pastors.

This informative book will enlighten other clergy and laity on how to better love, encourage, and respond to these young men and women of God.

Let's see if together we can curb the 80% drop out rate of young pastors in their first five years in the ministry!

  

NEW! Small Group Book  

This book in progress is an adaptation of my D.Min. project that deals with the theology, history, leadership theories, and four major SG models. It ends in the formulation of a NEW hybrid small group model. Great all-round training resource for pastors and SG leaders.

  

NEW! Fictional Allegorical Book 

In 2010 Mark Elliott will also be writing a NEW fiction/allegory book entitled, "Island Adventures." It is about the challenges and interactions between various cultures, generations, and traditions within the local church which seem to polarize and stagnate the mission and growth of the local church in today's modern world. It's a cross between "The Shack" and "Who Moved My Cheese."

 "Mark Elliott is on to something here. No one is speaking to our churches on behalf of pastors…UNTIL NOW! This book is filled with the courageous words that many thousands of pastors need to convey to their congregations but lack the space or gifting to capture. Mark does it for you in this breakthrough book! Pastors you need to get this book into the hands of ALL your congregants!"

Steve Sjogren, Author and Founding Pastor, Vineyard Church, Cincinnati

"I have known Mark Elliott for over twenty years. In this “I can hardly put it down” book he is utterly transparent about whom he is and willingly shares his weaknesses and failures. The stories of his life and ministry will draw you in! You will often say, “That’s me!”
