Pastoral Books
Take and Read Book Reviews
A variety of pastoral books that
should catch your attention the next time you consider buying books for
your Christian Library.
The following books are a must read for
anyone desiring the office of the elder/pastor. Or, if you are
already an officer then these books will help you reevaluate whether you
should be in the office or not, or encourage you in continuing in that
office and aid you in strengthening
your ministry among the chosen people of God. They are weighty matters which
every pastor/teacher should grapple and struggle through. They do
not allow the guard to be left down for a moment, and will reshape the ideologies
most have about the eldership. If you are looking for books on
church growth, or 3 steps to pastoral teaching schematics, then you do not read
these books. You are not thinking correctly about the
ministry. But if you are looking to improve your understanding
of the pastorate and the duties and qualifications of the minister, then
these are essential.
