About this ebook

A personal and practical guide to help pastors find Jesus as their mentor.For decades, Paul has been the model for today’s pastors. But Pastor John Frye says we must instead look to Jesus as our model. "While we may lift Christ up as Savior, as we bow down to him as Lord, as we marvel at his offices of Prophet, Priest, and King, as we walk with him as Friend, we seem to ignore him as the supreme Senior Pastor." Sharing thought-provoking, biblical insights and personal experiences, Frye calls other pastors to become apprentices to Jesus himself. He is the One who invites pastors to watch him in action and draw close so he can shape who they are and how they fulfill their ministry."Why have pastors and churches not been driven to Jesus as the central and controlling focus for the pastoral vocation and ministry in the local church? He’s been relegated to other dimensions of Christian and local church experience. Jesus is shoved into our shadows as we read our management books, do our cultural surveys, attend our leadership seminars, and applaud or criticize one another’s endeavors"--John Frye in Jesus the Pastor

    I love LibraryThing: I had forgotten about this one. It's one of the better guides to the reality of pastoral ministry that I've read. I mean, guides to the junk and crap and heart-wrenching sorrowful frustration that can cause us to become angry, mechanical, compassionless pricks in our roles as God's undershepherds. I was scanning through this one looking at what I'd highlighted when I read it, and several pieces jumped out and bit me on the behind. Gotta go reread this one.
