Customer Reviews

Interesting, reflective and helpful.

I found this book to be a pleasure to read, and a great contribution to my own reflection on what my job (a pastor) is all about. I found it reassuring, and comforting, it helps to provide a real and credible focus to help me set priorities, and reassurance that I do not have to do it all. Read this book, it may straighten you out as well.

A "must read" for every parish pastor

Lathrop's short work is concise, but densely rich. His grasp of what it means to be the church is deep and abiding and gives us great hope for the future.
