"No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." With those piercing words from the Gospel of Luke 9:62, Jesus set the standard for everyone who would serve Him. Ministry is not merely a profession or volunteer work. It is a divine calling that demands the whole heart, and it is far too serious to be handled casually.

In this warm, honest, and deeply biblical book, Bishop Osei Tweneboah Koduah walks with you through the field of Luke 9:62 and uncovers what the plow truly requires: total commitment, perseverance through storms, forward vision, joyful sacrifice, and faithfulness to the very end. Chapter by chapter, he dismantles the quiet lies that keep servants of God stuck, that ministry should always unfold smoothly, that surrender is a transaction with guaranteed returns, and that a wounded servant should rush back into the field before the wound has healed.

Along the way you will meet plowmen and plowwomen who make these truths unforgettable. A young man who traded a doubled salary for a fire he could not put out. A worship leader who learned that surrender is not a negotiation. A woman who taught four children in an empty room for eleven years before ever seeing the harvest. A gifted teacher who was silenced by public failure and restored, slowly and tenderly, at her own charcoal fire. A quiet doorkeeper whose twenty years of faithfulness saved a stranger's life on a rainy night. An elder who preached his final sermon at eighty-one, three months before he went home to be with the Lord. Their stories, drawn from Scripture, from church history, and from a lifetime of pastoral ministry, prove that God still rewards those who refuse to look back.

This is not a book of easy formulas. It confronts the hard questions honestly: what happens when the harvest never comes in this life, why sacrifice must flow from grace and not toward it, and how a wounded servant can return to the plow without being rushed there before the Physician has finished His work. Every chapter closes with Reflection Questions and a Prayer, so that truth becomes practice and not just theory.
