When ministry feels like a battlefield, this book is your survival guide.

In this honest and eye-opening book, Pastor Shane Idleman shares what most ministry leaders won't: the pain, pitfalls, and pressures that nearly led him to walk away from his calling. Drawing from over two decades in ministry-including intense seasons of burnout, loss, criticism, and spiritual warfare-Shane opens the door to his personal journey and offers wisdom to help other leaders navigate the minefields of ministry without losing heart.

Whether you're a pastor, worship leader, or church volunteer, I Almost Quit will show you how to:

  • Recognize the warning signs of burnout and discouragement
  • Avoid common leadership landmines, from pride to poor health
  • Rekindle your passion for God and strengthen your spiritual life
  • Find peace and clarity when God's plans don't match your own

For those who have already stumbled, Shane offers hope for restoration. His transparency will remind you that while ministry is often lonely, you are never alone.

In a special chapter, Shane's wife Morgan shares her own story of struggle and resilience, offering heartfelt encouragement to pastors' wives and ministry spouses who often feel unseen and overwhelmed.

If you've ever thought about quitting-or you're simply looking for renewed purpose in your calling-this book is a lifeline.

The battle is real, but so is the victory.
