Authentic ministry isn’t just about mastering techniques or keeping busy in church work. Authentic Ministry: Serving from the Heart shows that lasting service begins in joyful union with Christ, where ministry overflows from a nourished inner life. Michael Reeves invites readers to look beyond performance and rediscover the heart behind true gospel service.

This concise book, adapted from a series of talks for students, pastors-in-training, and leaders, offers nine reflective chapters on essential questions: What is prayer? How do we respond to suffering? Who is our true friend? What does theology look like when lived out? Through these insights, Reeves urges believers to abide in Christ so that ministry flows naturally from fellowship with Him.

Whether you are a seasoned pastor, a new leader, or simply someone who wants to serve with integrity, this is a resource for cultivating spiritual health and authenticity. Endorsed by Dane Ortlund as “difficult to imagine a better tool to put in the hands of young ministry leaders,” it’s a book worth reading and sharing again and again.
