The Joy of Being a Deacon

In this small volume, John Flanagan, a deacon for over 35 years, shares the fulfillment and joy in his life and ministry. This book is filled with his practical and spiritual experiences to help deacons, retired deacons, and deacon-candidates to reflect on their vocation, and most importantly their personal relationship with God and others. The chapter How Other Deacons Experience and Maintain Joy in Their Ministry is particularly helpful to those who need a boost on a difficult day or week of serving Christ’s body.
