SPRINGFIELD, MO – Chris McGough, assistant professor of Youth Ministries and Church Leadership in Evangel’s Theology & Global Church Ministries Department, was recently awarded a bronze medal by Illumination Book Awards in the ministry/missions category for his recently published book “Soliloquy No. 7: Addressing Hidden Influences that Quietly Erode Church Leaders.”
Illumination Book Awards annually highlights the best of newly released Christian books from authors of well-known publishers as well as self-published authors whose works are dedicated to Christian belief and personal development. Award categories include bible studies, devotionals, ministry, missions, and more.
McGough’s book was written to assist current and future church and ministry leaders. “Soliloquy No. 7” pulls from the wisdom of Solomon, ancient king of Israel, and touches on five specific areas that require vigilance on behalf of ministry leaders as it examines the seventh of Solomon’s 10 soliloquies.
Readers are asked to consider what it means to define and achieve success in ministry, how to be missionally and culturally relevant, make disciples and build ministries, respond to difficult people, situations, and seasons of ministry, and when to go with the flow or go against the grain.
