In this revised and expanded edition of Brothers, We Are Not Professionals that includes a new introduction and select all-new chapters, best-selling author and beloved pastor John Piper leads readers through a series of thoughtful essays with fellow pastors urging all to abandon the professionalization of the pastorate and pursue the prophetic call of the Bible for radical ministry.
In doing so he takes critical aim at the widely held managerial/therapeutic model of ministry---warning that Christlike traits such as childlikeness, tenderheartedness, and dedication to prayer clash with the secular 'professionalism' we mistakenly seek to emulate. Sure to spark debate!
