Eswine draws on personal stories of crisis shares openly about his own failures and communicates honestly about what he has seen throughout his twenty years in ministry providing readers with a much-needed authentic look at life in the trenches. Eswine also covers practical matters such as how to pray for the sick how to make leadership decisions how to do church discipline and how to handle family dynamics and pressures in pastoral ministry. Presenting sound pastoral theology couched in autobiographical musings and emotive prose this book offers a fresh and biblically faithful approach to the care of souls including your own.
