How is the success (or failure) of a church and its pastor measured? The traditional standards are things like bucks in the bank, butts in the seats and building size. Author, pastor and church planter Chris Vitarelli evaluates those standards and offers a reminder of our true measurements: Are we obedient to God, faithful in ministry and content with where God has placed us to serve? Too many pastors are comparing themselves to others or copying other ministries. But each has a unique call on their life and ministry. A challenge to the "success" driven mindset of the church, an encouragement to any pastor who has ever felt like a failure and a personal story of coming to grips with God's call in his own life, "Failure in the Balance" asks pastors to let God write their own ministry story.
