Dangerous Calling: Confronting the Unique Challenges of Pastoral Ministry by Paul David Tripp

5.0

This is such a good book. Tripp looks at some of the challenges that come up in pastoral ministry, specifically the disconnect between the pastor at home and the pastor at church, and he discusses the underlying reason for this struggle being lost. In spoilery summary, the reasons for these things are we do not have a proper view of God, we are not in awe of Him; as well we do not preach the Gospel to ourselves and so forget how much we need the gospel; and third, the grace of God that saves and changes us needs to be taken seriously, and we need to remember we are not just bringers of grace, but also needers of grace in our lives.
