As increasing numbers of young women are discerning a call to ministry, entering seminary, graduating, and searching for the call to a parish or other ministry setting, they need to be aware of the realities that face them. The Girlfriends' Clergy Companion is about the nitty gritty of ministry for young female clergy—how to maintain a sense of personal style, what it's really like to be a solo pastor, how to date, what to do when they're ready to quit. The authors met in 2008 at a gathering of young women who serve as pastors. Since then, they have been meeting monthly to develop a 'young girlfriends network' and to support one another in their ministries. In their conversations, they heard one another talking about what they wished they had known before beginning ministry. Those yearnings gave rise to this book. The authors discuss the call process and the ministry situations in which young women most commonly find themselves serving as a solo pastor and as an associate. Additional chapters explore personal style, the single life, relationships, children, and self-care, as well as challenges pastors, particularly new pastors, often face. Each chapter ends with 'The Girlfriends' Checklist,' a summary of strategies to help young women be happier and more effective ministers.

We all have the same number of hours in a day, but some people manage to get more done than others. It takes prioritizing, organizing, reprioritizing, and staying on top of your schedule and tasks at all times. This Time Management Planner is a little different than others, because it combines more than just your schedule and a short to-do list. This planner is made for just 8 weeks, so you can stay focused and not get overwhelmed by all that you have to do in the future... focusing only on what's right before you. If you actively use this planner, and replace it every 8 weeks, you will find yourself not only staying organized, but having your own small records library to look back on at the end of the year. Each planner has 6 monthly pages at the front - so that you can plan ahead, without getting wrapped up in the details. Then, you have 8 weeks worth of daily planner 2-page spreads. Each week begins with a task prioritization page - allowing you to plan & record immediate tasks for the week, short-term tasks, quarterly tasks, and long-term tasks or ideas. Then there is a weekly schedule page, so you can jot down your main goals, appointments or focus for that week. Following the task prioritization page and the calendar for the week, you have 7 days, each spread across 2 pages -- on the left a place for notes, time schedule, meal plans, fitness notes, and expenditures for the day. On the right, the day's top 3 priorities, other tasks, phone calls to make, appointments, a place to note emails, faxes, or mail to send, errands/deliveries to run, and follow-up notes which may help you plan the next day. With this on hand, you'll always know what your plans are, where you need to be, and what you should be focusing on, so that you don't get distracted and you can keep yourself on course toward your goals.
