Pastors, my new book “Stories from the Pastor’s Rocking Chair: Teachable Reflections on Real Life Ministry Experiences” is for you! After 62 years in various types of ministry roles, and having worked very closely with hundreds of other pastors of many different denominations, cultures, economic potentials, and theological traditions, I combine hundreds of identifiable experiences into 66 stories.

Each story has honest and vulnerable reflections with it, along with teachings of how they could and/or should have been handled. I bare my soul in them.

While these stories are unique to me and to some of my friends, they are simply the vehicle that helps us to communicate ministry principles that can be applied in many other situations. Your experiences may not mirror exactly those presented, but the principles gleaned from them can help save you from many heartaches, disasters, and personal crisis times.

While intended for new pastors, pastors of any age group and level of experience can learn some valuable lessons from them. As an older and well experienced church leader said – “I had many A-Ha moments in reading these.”

Lay people can also learn from these what their pastors are dealing with, mostly in private.

Do yourself a favor and learn from the lessons of others instead of paying some heavy prices for those same lessons yourself. It is found along with my other books on Xulon Press, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. Or check it (and me) out at www.TheHealthyPastors.org and www.TLCMinistries.com.
