Do average Christians know what their pastors' lives are really like? In this collection of vignettes from forty years as a Christian minister, the author reveals, with insight and humor, the joys and heartaches of ministry. This volume touches on matters of faith and life common to us all-issues of doubt and trust, death and life, distress and healing, and of a host of moral choices we may face along life's way. But most of all, this book is about the faithfulness of a patient, loving and gracious God who loves each of us, and expresses that love in and through the family of faith.
