A Preach Well Church

“After thirty-five years in ministry, I can say without hesitation that I’ve never seen pastors in crisis like I’m observing right now. I’m thankful that pastor Josh Taylor has written this book. It’s helpful in ways that bring the biblical and the practical together, both for the pastor and his family as well as the congregation itself. I hope you will benefit from the insights Taylor shares in these pages.”


—Clayton King, pastor and overseer, Newspring Church





“In A Preach Well Church, pastor Josh Taylor blends transparent testimony and careful research to expose challenges that confront pastors and lead to ministerial burnout. Taylor shares from his personal experience in ministry as well as survey responses from other pastors. While painting an accurate picture of the obstacles, Taylor avoids defeatist hopelessness by offering practical tips for churches and pastors.”


— Kristopher K. Barnett, associate dean, Clamp Divinity School, Anderson University





“The ministry of the Word is an intersection of heaven and earth, for God places the treasures of his glory in jars of clay. Sadly, churches often expect heaven on earth from their ministers. In this much-needed book, Josh Taylor draws from a wealth of research to offer seven practical ways to support preachers in the work of ministry ‘that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you’ (Heb 13:17).”
