Most church-attenders never learn the details involved in carrying burdens for the souls of a congregation. How to Pastor and Live to Tell Above It: Lessons from Nehemiah pulls back the curtain and gives a glimpse into the fascinating, yet challenging work of God's modern-day servants.
While compiling this manuscript, I asked ministers about their experiences in leadership that compared to Nehemiah’s-- difficult situations they faced and survived with wisdom from God. Their responses were heartfelt, enlightening, and inspirational.
Those already in ministry will benefit from the practical advice these pastors shared, the joys and sorrows of their occupation. And for those teetering on the edge of Bible college or seminary nest, these wise words may save them from the pitfalls that ministers eventually face.
You can buy the book as an appreciation gift for your hard-wording pastor or give it to a ministerial student. It’s at: How to Pastor and Live to Tell About It: Lessons from Nehemiah: Sarver, Roberta: 9781955309400: Amazon.com: Books
