Written from thirty years in the pews and the pulpit — and from the valley of personal loss. For leaders, for sufferers, and for anyone learning to rest in God again. All three arrive in 2026.

Ministry in Crisis

Healing and Preventing Leader Burnout

Too many gifted leaders quietly burn out — not because they stopped believing, but because the slow erosion went unnamed. Drawn from personal pain, doctoral research, and years of walking with leaders, Ministry in Crisis names the factors that wear leaders down and offers a research-grounded, ministry-specific path to heal and prevent burnout.

It speaks to two readers at once: the leader trying to stay standing, and the organization responsible for the people it sends out.

Longevity in ministry is never accidental — it grows from intentional rhythms, honest reflection, and the courage to keep growing. What stands out about Scott Ream is not just his endurance, but his willingness to keep listening and leaning into God's best. This book is forged in real ministry — not theory.

Still True

What God Wants You to Know in Your Hardest Season

For years, Scott walked alongside others in their grief. Then loss came to his own family. In the searching that followed, five truths held — truths he first shared on his own front porch, two white rockers facing the church cross, with a family in the depths of their sorrow.

Still True offers those five anchor points and a journey through Romans 8 for anyone asking "why." It doesn't explain pain away. It points to a God who is still good, still near, and still true when nothing else feels like it.

A companion Still True Grief Journal carries the same five truths into thirty days of guided reflection — space to write what you can't yet say out loud.

He Makes Me Lie Down

A 180-Day Guided Journey Through Psalm 23

Psalm 23 is the most familiar psalm in the world — and one of the least lived. Across 180 days and the six movements of the Shepherd's psalm, this guided devotional teaches the soul to slow down, to be led, and to lie down in green pastures again.

It's the daily companion for anyone who has run on empty too long and wants to learn the unhurried pace of being shepherded.
