Immeasurable

CHRISTIANITY TODAY'S PASTORAL/CHURCH LEADERSHIP BOOK OF THE YEAR 2017
How do you measure a pastor?
Not long ago, ministers were among the most trusted and admired people in our culture. But not anymore. Recent studies reveal that Americans' admiration for clergy has reached an all-time low.
In response to this trend, some pastors have subconsciously looked to emulate those who are praised by the culture, such as business leaders, entertainers, and social activists. This has led to a new understanding of what a minister should be.
Immeasurable calls pastors back to the biblical ideal. Through short essays and reflections on the pastor's soul and skills, this book will help prospective pastors explore their calling--and veteran pastors to reframe it.
Drawing on cultural dynamics, personal stories, and his own experience in ministry and with church leaders, Skye Jethani will address matters like ambition, anger, community, consumerism, fame, health, justice, platform, preaching, rest, simplicity, success, vision, and more. Immeasurable is for any pastor who wants to shepherd faithfully.
