Michael E. Osborne is Associate Pastor at University Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Orlando, Florida. His thirty years in ministry have also included pastorates in Missouri and South Carolina. He writes a blog for pastors called "Surviving Ministry: Encouragement for Joyfully Persevering as a Church Leader" (survivingministry.com).
""Surviving Ministry could be renamed Thriving Ministry, but that would defeat the purpose of this compelling book about the significant challenges, heartbreaks, blessings, pains, joys, good moments, and will-this-never-end hard seasons that are the reality of pastoral ministry. Mike Osborne--in sharp, sometimes humorous, but unfailingly humble, honest, and helpful prose--speaks the truth in love. [This book] is a must-read for pastors, seminarians, congregational leaders, and laity."" --Robbie Castleman, Author, Parenting in the Pew and Story-Shaped Worship; Professor of Theology; Pastor's wife ""Mike Osborne brings a wealth of pastoral experience and personal transparency to this discussion of ministry 'survival.' Even more, he brings a love for Christ and his church that makes these tales of church 'hurricanes' wise tools for serving, as well as surviving, the ministry."" --Bryan Chapell, Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, IL
