Ministries need to be crucified?

This book sounds interesting: The Crucifixion of Ministry
Surrendering Our Ambitions to the Service of Christ
. From the blurb:
Theologian Andrew Purves explores at the deepest level the true and essential nature of Christian ministry. He says that the attempt to be an effective minister is a major problem. Ministers are "in the way." He radically claims that ministries need to be crucified. They need to be killed off so that Christ can make them live.

Read this book. By all means, read this book. My comments are up here and here; the latter post deals as well with Dr. Steven Seamands' book Ministry in the Image of God: The Trinitarian Shape of Christian Service, as I found it especially valuable reading the two books together.
