The faith-centered initiative A Life in Balance has announced the official launch of founder Dr. Dennis Mims' inaugural book, 'A Life in Balance: Walking with God Through Church, Career, and Family.' Drawing from over 32 years of personal experience, the book provides a transparent roadmap for readers seeking to navigate modern life's complexities while staying rooted in faith.
In the book, Dr. Mims shares his story of balancing a demanding nuclear engineering and project management career with more than three decades of ministry leadership and family commitments. From his beginnings as the seventh of ten children in a faith-filled Southern household to his U.S. Navy service and high-stakes radiation control roles, Mims chronicles the triumphs, challenges, and divine guidance that shaped his path. The book emphasizes practical wisdom over theoretical advice, offering actionable insights for maintaining harmony across life's key pillars.
'This book is not just my story, it's a testament to God's grace in the midst of real-world demands,' said Dr. Mims, who serves as both minister and nuclear project manager. 'I've lived the tension of leading congregations on Sunday and managing technical teams on Monday, all while raising a family. My hope is that readers find encouragement and tools to pursue their own callings without sacrificing what matters most.'
The release addresses a common struggle for people of faith, ministers, parents, and professionals juggling multiple roles. It fills a critical gap by offering spiritual guidance intertwined with real-life solutions, drawn from Mims' dual expertise in ministry and the nuclear industry. Whether facing high-pressure deadlines or family milestones, the book serves as a reminder that balance is achievable through discipline, devotion, and unwavering trust in God.
The book's approach is particularly relevant as many individuals seek to integrate their spiritual values with professional ambitions and family obligations. By providing concrete examples from both ministry and technical fields, Mims demonstrates how faith principles can be applied in diverse workplace environments.

This publication arrives at a time when discussions about work-life balance have intensified across industries, with many professionals reporting difficulty maintaining spiritual practices amid career pressures. Mims' perspective as someone who has successfully navigated both religious leadership and technical management roles offers unique credibility to his guidance. The book represents a resource for those seeking to avoid compartmentalizing their faith from other life domains.
The initiative behind the book reflects growing recognition that spiritual wellbeing cannot be separated from professional and family life. As workplace demands continue to evolve, resources that address holistic balance from a faith perspective may become increasingly valuable for individuals and organizations alike. Mims' combination of ministerial experience and technical expertise provides a distinctive lens through which to examine these universal challenges.
