If you're feeling joyless, weary and burdened as you serve Jesus, this book is for you!
John Hindley shows how Jesus was telling the truth when he offered people an "easy yoke"—a way of serving him that is joyful and liberating. He explains why serving is so often joyless—and how our identity in Christ changes everything.
This book will help you gain a new perspective so that you can serve God out of joy rather than duty.

• Is written in a personal, warm, gospel-hearted style.

(Review written for 'Serving without sinking')
A very encouraging read for those who are in full time service doing the Lords work. Uplifting and encouraging to the soul, through difficult days we must pput our hand to the plough and not to look back. For greater is He that is in us than he that's in the world. A must read for everyone.
I first read this book when it came out, and enjoyed it, but younger in ministry I just didn't grasp some of its brilliance. Several years on and I can greater appreciate its brilliance. You see yourself as in a mirror and it's a worrying sight. Somehow John manages to help you to see your mistakes without crushing you, and gently leads you through a simple biblical understanding of the true heart of service, whilst restoring with insightful questions methods to restore the father's heart behind, and gift of service. This is a good read for all those in any ...form of Christian service, and those who are not. Be prepared to be challenged and loved.
