    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of true stories giving a glimpse into the strange and wonderful life of a small church pastor. In it you will find the good, the bad and the really, really ugly. With back stabbing parishioners, visits to Nursing Homes that belong in the third world, constant pressure to put more bodies in the pews and dollars in the plate, local churches stealing parishioners from each other, ministers whose egos are as wide as an ocean, as well as ministers who get fired for nothing and then run from organized religion as fast as they can, you’ll find that ministry is not what you thought it was.

    I hope that my stories will make you laugh, and also give you a glimpse of the incredible stress small church ministers experience. I also hope that you will understand despite the challenges why so many of us live a truly wonderful life. Oh, and don’t let me forget the guy who spent time in the slammer for manslaughter that I had to kick out of the church (that’s a fun story). God bless you, Pastor Bill.
