Dangerous Calling - Confronting the Unique Challenges of Pastoral Ministry
My friend Paul Tripp shines the spotlight of God s Word into the heart of every pastor. If you have been in ministry for 20 minutes or 20 years, I commend it to you. Be prepared for the change God will make in your heart, life, and ministry. --James MacDonald, Senior Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel and author of Vertical ChurchTripp has done it again. With probing insight and robust realism, he takes an honest look into the challenges that are unique to, or intensified by, pastoral ministry. Gospel-centered and grace saturated to the core, Dangerous Calling is a must read. --Tullian Tchividjian, Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and author of Jesus + Nothing = EverythingThis book is 'good' in the same way that heart surgery is good. It's painful and scary and as you read it you'll be tempted to run away from the truth it contains. But it just might save your life. Pastors need this book. I know I really needed it. It challenged me and rebuked me even as it gave me hope and fresh faith in God for pastoral ministry. --Joshua Harris, Senior Pastor, Covenant Life Church, Gaithersburg, Maryland; author, Dug Down Deep
