The Secret Life of a Pastor

(and other intimate letters on ministry)

Michael A. Milton

Description

Living a life of Christian service is tough. Quite rightly we can have big hopes for what can be done and dealing with discouragement and disappointment when these dreams shatter can be a painful experience. Michael Milton has a real heart for those who are beginning that work, this heart comes out in brief, honest, penetrating letters that are gold for a pastor just starting out, and remain tremendously helpful to the rest of us, as we seek to serve Christ in our daily lives.

Endorsements

... full of wonderful nuggets... this short and readable book would obviously be an encouraging read for someone heading off to theological college or investigating pastoral ministry. However, there are also extremely helpful reminders for those already along the path of ministry... this book is a wondeful plea for the power of letter writing in ministry, which may find us reaching for our fountain pens!
