This is my personal diary filled with my frustrations associated with my experience in ministry from January 1980 until now June 2011 from a Jeremiah perspective. As you read this book you will find out how much truly chosen, not just called leaders have to endure to become all that God wants them to be. Through this book leaders will come to know the furnace of affliction and rejection is a place not appreciated by many who are chosen to fulfill the highest calling among men. The frustrations of the chosen are necessary experiences designed not to break us but drive us to a place of dissatisfaction. This aggravation causes us in turn to run to God with a passionate fire that trials, tribulations or death itself can’t quench or put out.
