Book excerpt: Christianity Today 2021 Book Award Winner (The Church/Pastoral Leadership Award of Merit) Diary of a Pastor's Soul tells the story of a fictionalized pastor, embarking on his final year before retirement, who reflects on the experiences and relationships that have formed his vocation and shaped his soul over a lifetime of pastoral ministry. Drawing on his own experiences, seasoned pastor Craig Barnes invites readers to embrace the life lessons of a pastor who has been formed by his failures and his fleeting moments of glory, but most of all by discovering the holy in the routine but often quirky duties of being a parish pastor. Through 52 weekly thematic entries, Barnes presents spirituality in narrative form through a collection of interwoven stories about learning to love others with curiosity, amazement, vulnerability, and most of all gratitude for the grace found in flawed lives. Barnes's fictionalized diary approach creatively shows how the pastoral vocation forms mind, heart, and soul, helping pastors make sense of their own calling. With unvarnished honesty, this book eloquently illustrates a lifetime of ministry, revealing how "the Holy haunts the landscape of life."

Book excerpt: This book is a sharing of my experience, and my witness to The Living, Powerful Jesus the Christ, to His Father, and to the Presence of the Holy Spirit of God. May the written experiences and insights be seen as a flashlight, shining upon the road maps of Heaven. The hardest part of this Book was not the writing of it, rather the living of it. Within the text you will find what it felt like to give over my most innermost garment...when asked. In this Book you will find collections of Scripture, Insights, Prayers and Spiritual Experiences. There are Poems, the telling of Life Stories, Life Applications of Wisdom, and my Witness to God and to His Power. The Book speaks of Gods call to Evangelize; to make Preparation. To Behold God; to be Clothed and Ready with the plenteous Oil of the Holiness of His Spirit. This Book travels onward, and ultimately continues towards Gods Kingdom Glory. May the works of Gods Presence be felt, to all who wander through these pages. As lifes days unfold into the Greater, may the purity of His Council reign into the clear, and rooted growth of His Love.

How can two walk together except in Christ! I chose to walk with Pastor, my husband, in a life filled with God, but he chose to walk away, and as a Pastor and servant of the Lord, I would never have expected him to make that choice. To leave me, his First Lady! To First Ladies of the church everywhere, I want you to understand how it happens. I want you to be aware of your relationship with your man of God. The Bible says, a threefold cord is not quickly broken, but Satan is always moving to and fro trying to break the cord. This time he was successful! God has given me the strength to tell the world my storya story of a broken promise, a covenant made to God, but broken by man, a servant of God. A story I hope that Pastors and First Ladies everywhere will heed. I once was Pastors First Lady, but now I share with you The Diary Of A Pastors Wife!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pastors’ Diaries was written to help pastors recognize that some of their most private and convicting thoughts and challenging circumstances are not unique to them. It’s designed to help pastors navigate these overwhelming situations with the resource of actual lived experiences that have led to massive failures or amazing triumphs. Throughout the book you will read detailed accounts as communicated by the pastors sharing intimate details of their pastoral journey, much of which has never been shared in a public format. Real people and real stories fill these pages, some of them are unbelievable and hilarious while others may leave you in tears heartbroken and bewildered at how the body of Christ could survive this long with this much dysfunction. With the increasing suicide rate of pastors, the mass exodus of pastors from the pastorate, the porn addiction of pastors and the shear depression of pastors being so alarming, something must be said and done to challenge the trajectory of this epidemic. I pray that this book will validate the Pressure, Pain, Pride, Power, Passion, and Pedestal a Pastor experiences and also give them the freedom to take the steps necessary to respond to these situations and Persevere from them in healthy ways. Another goal of this book is to help the church member have a better understanding of the person that sits in that middle chair and stand behind that sacred podium so they can have realistic expectations of the human they’ve empowered to shepherd them and as a result, learn how to love them appropriately. Coincidentally, they will discover that no one in all of church has experienced more offenses than the ones called to lead and yet they have in most cases remained faithful and in place until God decided to move them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's pastors -- often expected to be multitasking marvels who can make their churches "successful" -- are understandably confused about their role. Craig Barnes contends that the true calling of a pastor is to help others become fully alive in Christ, to be a "minor poet," or poet of the soul. As such, pastors are to read the major poets of Scripture and history in light of the dust and grit of daily parish life. The Pastor as Minor Poet eloquently calls pastors to search for a deeper understanding of what they see -- both in the text of Scripture and in the text of their parishioners' lives. A critical part of this poetic vision involves discerning key subtexts beneath these texts, which allows pastors to preach the heart of the Word and to understand the hearts of their people. Written with a seasoned pastor's depth of understanding and a poet's sensibility and sensitivity, this book will minister to and inspire pastors everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws the reader into the heart and soul of a pastor. Having shepherded New England churches for thirty-five years, he speaks his mind openly and offers opinions without apology, but with compassion befitting a minister of the Gospel. The writings are a compilation of stories from his personal diary that will touch the heart and tickle the funny bone. There is the risk as you read, however, of shedding a tear or two, and the probability of laughing out loud as he affectionately introduces us to the wide variety of people he served. Just when you think you've heard it all, he offers up another tale to arouse your interest. It's not a read-at-one-sitting kind of book, but may be picked up and delved into for as little as a few minutes at a time. But for those who want to curl up with a good book for an hour of pleasure on a rainy afternoon, this will fill the bill. Mitchell feels obligated, at this time in his life, to share stories that ought to be told lest they be forgotten. They're worth recording and are too good not to remember.
