“A very practical and Biblical resource”
This book is an excellent read for those who are currently pastors, looking to become pastors or even doing ministry vocationally. This book is directed those who are pastors but if you are doing vocational ministry, I think this book could still be a useful read and you could still find many things to apply.
The book is split into three parts that allow for you to understand what it means to be an unhurried pastor, how to prepare for it, and how to pursue it.
Overall, this book is very practical while also doing the groundwork of allowing you to understand the why behind each thing.
A quote that stood out to me right at the beginning of the book is, “The reality is most of us try to shepherd like superheroes—but the problem is there’s nothing super human about us. Before I assume the title of pastor, shepherd, elder, preacher, teacher, author, speaker, or counselor, I am a person who is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God.”
At the end of the book, in the appendix there is a Daily Spiritual Health Plan which is a great practical resource.
Overall, this book is Biblical, practical, and would be a great read for somebody who is just starting off as a pastor or in ministry as well as those who are seasoned veterans!
I did receive a copy of this book from The Good Book Company in exchange for an honest review!
