A Pastor’s Alphabet: Songs, stories, and adventures of an everyman preacher

A Pastor’s Alphabet is a collection of story, prose and poetry that has emerged over the author’s twenty years of service to one local church. It’s a look into the gritty real world of parishioners and the equally gritty world of those who help carry their burdens. It is a journal of sorts – a journey not into what makes a church “successful” but rather what makes a successful church. Most pastors are really amazing people. Those that stick it out are usually made of some pretty beautiful stuff. The spirit of the age tells us to grow our churches, redefine our vision, and maintain our administration. But what we need more is a steady, slowly beating heart that is always expanding its capacity to love and serve. That – more than any degree, credential, course or training – is what helps people the most.Selections arranged in alphabetical order serve as a devotional for anyone looking for an honest take on faith worth fighting for – both on Sunday morning and also along the highways and byways of ordinary everyday life.
