The Sacred Wilderness of Pastoral Ministry: Preparing a People for the Presence of the Lord

By David Rohrer

How do pastors remain faithful in the wilderness of denominational strife, rapid demographic change, falling numbers and a general malaise among church members? John the Baptist also lived in the wilderness, yet crowds journeyed to hear him. Why? Because John affirmed what people already knew?that they were in desperate need of something more than the mundane practices of religion. Likewise, pastors don't simply have an institution to create or maintain. They have a prophetic word to proclaim. Book jacket.
