Discover my new book to learn some valuable lessons about pastoral ministry. I asked several experienced pastors to share the one greatest lesson they have learned about ministry. The result is this book, Ministry Lessons: Practical Wisdom for Pastors from Pastors
Ministry Lessons is available now on Amazon (You can read the first two chapters FREE – see below).
What’s it about?
I have learned many practical lessons about ministry. But with the help of some of my pastor friends, I now have a whole book of ten practical lessons about ministry. I simply asked each of them to share the one lesson they would like to share with other pastors. This book is designed to share valuable time-tested lessons from men who have pastored for many, many years. Most of these men have pastored the same church for over a quarter of a century. If you added them all up, there are over 200 years of ministry experience in this book.
My prayer is that these lessons will save a young pastor from making some of the same mistakes these experienced pastors have made. I am also hoping that these lessons will give some guidance and wise counsel to a discouraged pastor who does not know what to do in a church mess. If you are not a pastor, I hope this book will help you to begin to understand the complicated situations in which pastors often find themselves.
