Staying Fresh cover

This insightful book encourages readers to nurture their relationship with God amid life's demands, emphasizing character over competence. Staying Fresh is a resource for all believers.

In Staying Fresh, Paul Mallard delves into the challenges of maintaining a close relationship with God amid the busyness of life. He poses essential questions about how we can engage with the Bible in a way that nourishes our souls rather than just preparing us for our next sermon or talk. The author emphasizes the necessity of self-care to prevent both burnout and rust-out, which can be prevalent in ministry work.

Mallard's insights are particularly valuable for individuals involved in ministry at any level, as he recognizes that while conviction and competence are crucial, the foundation of a fulfilling spiritual life lies in character. He passionately advocates for integrity, the power of consistent prayer, and the importance of discipleship. His message is clear: persistence in the face of sin and commitment to serving Christ are vital for sustaining one's spiritual health.

Even if you do not hold a leadership position, Mallard assures readers that the principles outlined in Staying Fresh can help anyone cultivate the vitality and freshness akin to young love in their relationship with God. This book serves as a guide for all who seek to deepen their spiritual journey, regardless of their current role or aspirations.
