They Call Me Pastor: How to love the ones you lead"Pastor. What a beautiful word. What a unique relationship it conveys....Each time someone calls me pastor, I am awestruck.... It humbles me, but I am grateful. There is no higher privilege than being a pastor." So writes H.B. London, who once again joins with his frequent collaborator Neil Wiseman to encourage and inspire church leaders with their most passionate, stirring book to date. "They Call Me Pastor" is an unabashed celebration of the deeply felt bond between a pastor and the congregation he serves - a testimony to the love of God and the miracles it can work in the lives of a shepherd and his flock if only His love is shared and allowed to flourish. |
