The Work of the Pastor
Neville Bartle
"The pastor's work is more important than being the Queen of England. It is more important than the work of the President of the United States or the Prime Minister of Britain." I looked at the enthusiastic speaker with his faded shirt, and worn trousers as he exhorted a group of fellow pastors. I thought to myself, "Where are the newspaper reporters and the television crews? Obviously they do not believe him. Here we are in a village church with a plywood pulpit, a thatched roof and a rough cement floor. Is it really more important to be a pastor than to be the ruler of a great and powerful nation?" This book will help those preparing to become a pastor to better understand what that means. It covers a wide range of topics including understanding the call of God to be a pastor, the pastor as shepherd, the pastor as priest, Sunday worship service planning, understanding sacraments, praying for the sick, caring for the dying, the pastor and money, and the pastor's family life. 186pp. Paper.
