The Pastor: A Memoir by Eugene H. Peterson

challenging inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

“I knew one thing for sure: the work of prayer was at the heart of everything. Personal conversation with God had to intersect with everything I thought or said, whether in the sanctuary or on the street corner.”

This is one of those books that I think will always be so pivotal for me and my ministry. I picked this book up at a sacred moment and I will always remember the impact this book has had on me. Probably one of those books that will need a re-read every few years or so. Eugene Peterson just gives so many beautiful stories and pieces of what it means to pastor and enter into life with others.
