True expressions of what it means to pastor

I heard Michael Lindvall read some of these stories before the book was published and I'd been waiting over a year for my copy. The stories are a little uneven and none are as funny as some in the first book, but I'm very happy to have my copy and I'll share it with others at my Presbyterian Church.The very best story is Our Organist. I cried when I first heard it and I cry reading it. The whole world needs to know of the openness of many churches.It is not an easy job to pastor especially in the small, rural church. Michael Lindvall expresses some of the doubts and triumphs that a minister feels.
