Christian leaders have held differing perspectives regarding balancing (or not balancing) family and ministry. This book studies John Wesley, George Whitefield, and Jonathan Edwards who lived during the 18th-Century Revival. All believed one should "spend and be spent" in the work of the ministry, were married and held different perspectives on how to balance the two.
Their convictions influenced what their marriages were like and bore fruit whether rotten or ripe. Many men and women today struggle with how God views the relationship between family and public ministry. This book seeks to glean insights from these three men, as well as give biblical guidelines and counsel from some modern day.
