Dear Pastor is composed of 45 compelling letters from well-known pastors designed to assist new pastors and recent seminary graduates in their ministries and personal lives. Each letter writer is respected for his or her walk with God and successful church leadership. The recipient will find unique insights and perspectives from highly-regarded church leaders like Erwin McManus, Jill Briscoe, Randy Frazee, Haddon Robinson, Gene Apel, and Bob Russell. The short and accessible letters offer profound truths, wisdom, and counsel that pastors will find themselves reading with again and again. Novice pastors will find great comfort in knowing that others have wrestled with the same issues that confront them. The letters are organized around 11 topics such as tending to one's inner life, family, congregation, community, and self. Other topics include focus, significance, colleagues and support, change and conflict, preaching, and 'the journey.'
Dear Pastor is a great gift for someone who has just graduated from seminary or who is preparing for ministry.
