The Work Of The Bivocational Minister

* What is bivocational ministry?
* Why choose it?
* Where can you find it?
* Who is bivocational minister?

Veteran bivocational minister and author Dennis Bickers answers these basic questions in establishing the work of the bivocational ministry. Simply defined, it is the professional ministry of any pastor or salaried church leader who also has other sources of income. Traditionally, it is a ministry that has been treated as second-class and less than ideal, but Bickers celebrates its benefits and rewards, even as he acknowledges its challenges.

This compact volume meets a critical need in the emergent chruch as it offers creative and practical insight into a time-tested, if not always honored paradigm for ministry in the twenty-first century.
