Dr. Larry Anderson (author of The Pastors' Diaries--An Intimate Look Behind The Pulpit) and Dr. Tony Hurst (host of the Gospel of Grace radio program heard Saturdays (8pm) & Sundays (6pm) on WFIL) join the show today.
The book contains sections on Pressure, Pain, Power, Pride, Pedestal, Perseverance, and Passion Beyond the Pulpit. Dr. Anderson writes an introduction to and the first chapter of each section, with over 20 pastors in the region contributing a chapter or two. The heart of the project is to give a voice to--and shed light on--challenges pastors face.
Often serious but also with elements of humor, these candid stories can encourage fellow pastors and give insight to churchgoers as to what their pastor may experience, with an emphasis on the importance of prayer for their pastor.
The Pastors' Diaries can be purchased in the usual places--or, for a copy autographed by both Dr. Anderson & Dr. Hurst, simply send whatever amount you like to:
