1393 Pacific Street: Can You Take It? is a book designed to encourage and help all ministers in the Christian faith with examples of triumphs, disappointments, victories, and struggles in ministry. My experience has been that there are not too many who have had a mentor or guide to lead them in the different aspects of what it takes to minister to the sheepfold of God. There aren't too many who've been encouraged by an elder in the ministry to "press their way." So what I've attempted to do is just that: provide some examples and answers on how to persevere and overcome. I pray that what you've read encourages your heart as you partner with Christ in ministry.
