How to Retire from Ministry

<p>“We can change we can even ‘retire’ but we can never retire from our calling.” With these words and a grand collection of compelling stories from the lives of disciples since Jesus’ time on earth up to the present in this small book Donna Thomas helps us see what it means to be called to ministry for a lifetime. </p><p> “Donna Thomas practices what she preaches. If anyone could give a valid argument for retiring from ministry it would be her. She has pastored founded a missions agency written extensively and equipped leaders around the world. But in her late 80s Donna is like the Energizer bunny: she just keeps going! For those who have wondered if their time to minister has faded into the sunset take encouragement from this book that you are not done. Generations after you need your wisdom experience and love to continue to fulfill the Great Commission to which God has called each of his followers. While we may slow down in this life as we age we’ll have all of eternity to rest on the other side.” —Ron Stohler pastor adult ministries Grace Church Noblesville Indiana</p>
