The Price Behind the Pulpit: The Other Side of the Call

By: Donald, William S., III

The Price Behind the Pulpit: The Other Side of the Call is a groundbreaking, brutally honest, and prophetic unveiling of what ministry really costs - not financially, but emotionally, relationally, mentally, and domestically.
This book tells the truth most pulpit discussions avoid:
Calling doesn't just cost the preacher - it costs the entire household.
Most books teach how to serve God publicly.
This one teaches how to survive the calling privately.
Inside these pages, Archbishop Dr. William S. Donald III lifts the veil on the silent suffering that spouses, children, siblings, and parents of ministers carry - yet rarely have language for. Written in Pulitzer Prize-level literary form, this book gives voice to the shadows and pain behind ministry excellence. It is not an attack on assignment - it is a cry for balance, humanity, boundaries, emotional health, sustainability, and wholeness.
If you are called, know someone who is called, or have been wounded by a calling - this book is a lifeline.
This is not just a read.
This is a reckoning.
This is a rescue.
This is a recovery plan for the called.
