Books for Pastors...


Pastoring and pain go together. If you are involved in pastoral leadership then you will experience the barbs of criticism, the grief of your own sin, and the loneliness of leadership. Biblical counsel from wise brothers, therefore, is essential.

If you are a pastor then you ought to have the following books on regular rotation for your yearly reading:

New Life in the Wasteland by Douglas Kelly


The Cross and Christian Ministry by D.A. Carson


Pastors Under Pressure by James Taylor


The Roots of Endurance by John Piper


The Call to Joy and Pain by Ajith Fernando


Under the Unpredictable Plant by Eugene Peterson
