Product Description

What separates pastors who finish well from those who don't?

When trusted pastors fall into sin and destroy a ministry, the entire body of believers gets hurt. After helping two large churches through the aftermath of such an event, Daniel Henderson discovered that pastoral failings are not primarily rooted in overdeveloped passions for self and sin but rather in underfed visions of eternity and a lack of zeal for God's glory.

In Glorious Finish, Daniel Henderson teaches you:

  • Why focusing on God's glory is the key to a fruitful ministry
  • How leaders can build habits that keep them captivated by God and His glory
  • How to stay glory-oriented in the grind, challenges, and spiritual attacks of ministry

Forget the latest techniques and the strategies—spend some time recentering on what you know is most important—His glory.

"Glorious Finish is a sober and extremely helpful book about a growing epidemic among Christian clergy.

"Daniel has captured the critical crises in our pulpits across America—the deadly distractions that keep our eyes off the prize.

"A friend of mine remarked, 'When we are young we look like our parents, but when we die we look like our decisions.' Our choices and decisions matter. The reality is that all of us are just a half a step from sinful failure and disqualification. With that in mind, our choices and decisions should flow from a humble, disciplined dependence on the Lord. That's why I am thrilled that my friend Daniel Henderson has written Glorious Finish. This book is a treasure and an engaging resource to help us stay the course and keep our focus on what matters most."
—CRAWFORD W. LORITTS JR.

"Daniel Henderson has prayed, plowed, and persevered. A veteran of pastoral ministry in the glories of victory and the bitter pains of church conflict and the moral failure of predecessors, Daniel writes with passion and clarity discovered over decades of personal experience. If you are a pastor or church leader, or a caring person in a church community, you will want to read Glorious Finish so that you can receive all that God has stored up for you. Thoroughly biblical, helpful, pastoral, and personal. Read this book!"
—JOHN JACKSON
President of William Jessup University, teacher, and author of books on leadership and personal and organizational transformation

"Daniel Henderson's book Glorious Finish couldn't come at a better time! This book is riveting, because it deals with the painful reality of too many moral failures among Christian leaders and the frightening possibility that any of us could be next. The current data, the personal examples, the Scripture, the insights, and the vulnerability of a seasoned pastor appealing for change combine to make this book a genuine 'page turner.' Glorious Finish isn't written by a moralist looking down at those who blew it—it is a pastoral word of wisdom looking around to all of us, urging us to choose a better way forward. Well-written, fast-paced, and hard to put down."
