I Didn't Want to Do It Donald Earl Bryant

Every leader faces opposition, no matter how charismatic and determined he or she may be, and pastors are no exception. But what does a reluctant leader do to forge ahead, even when met with opposition at every turn?

Dr. Donald Bryant's memoir will prove helpful to anyone interested in moving forward with a God-given vision despite fierce resistance. His forthright recall of his experiences demonstrates that out of struggle and conflict can come the strength to hold fast to personal standards and await the blessings of God.

Dr. Bryant never desired or intended to be a pastor, yet he built a megachurch congregation that constructed a multi-faceted worship complex debt-free. Given the effort that so many non-profits have with funding, to gain an understanding how to move a somewhat diverse group to full cooperation, his approach could prove most beneficial. In sharing his story at Friendship Community Church, Pastor Emeritus Bryant also offers a viable model for smooth pastoral transition.

His book encourages people involved in ministry and doing work that they did not want or intend to do. His honest and revelatory reflections hopefully will inspire you regarding the power and effectiveness of God, even when your passion for the assignment is lacking, and even when you face formidable opposition in the process.

This reflective work will show you how God can accomplish great things in your life. Dr. Bryant's story demonstrates that your experience is not about how inadequate you think you are; but rather, how powerful God is to see you through!
