Stress is often referred to as the silent killer. Stress is not a product of the twenty-first century; in fact, the damaging and accumulative effects of this pressure are not new at all to people in ministry. This book will focus on Elijah and Peter as we unlock how they were sidelined by the debilitating effects of stress in their ministries for a short time. I have gathered a group of principles that are proven stress reducers and are helpful to the minister that must confront stressful issues daily. As a military leader and a police officer in the high-crime area of Baltimore and with thirty years of ministry in two vital ministries, this short read offers you the principles I have personally learned to overcome the effects of stress. The Whisper is a close look at Elijah; however, it may be you that this study is about. You will read what Pastor Skip Hellmig and other ministers are saying about using these principles as they work in their continuing public ministry. A whisper is always personal, and for your ear alone.
