If you picked up this book you are probably thinking about skipping the introduction. Please don't, unless you took the quiz before; in that case, feel free to move on to the first Bible study. You can, however, skip to the link in the middle to take the quiz. I know you are in a hurry. For everyone else, keep reading.

You might be asking at this point: What do I mean by ministers or pastors? Simply put this book is for anyone that has worked in the church, for the church, or as part of a church as a job. This includes head pastors, youth pastors, children's pastors, next gen pastors, associate pastors, music pastors, facilities pastors, missionaries, missionary associates, all chaplains including military, hospital, association, club, and workplace. Peter was called to tend the sheep (John 21: 15-17). If you have worked a job in which you ministered in the name of Jesus Christ, this book is for you.

What is the first step? Find your resiliency type by taking this quiz:

There are four biblical resilience types. Each one is named for a New Testament minister who preached on and lived out a type of resiliency. Something to remember once you’ve taken the quiz: no type is better or worse than another. Just as we are each called to different tasks in the body, so too are we gifted with different strengths.
