The Pastor's First Love: And Other Essays on a High and Holy Calling
Description:
Wise and practical essays on the pastor as shepherd,
preacher, worship leader, and professional
“This is pastoral theology at its best. Bishop Emeritus Donald N. Bastian unfolds a lifetime of pastoral wisdom in words as fresh and timely as they are seasoned and timeless. In writing that is deeply rooted in scripture and the pastoral tradition of the historic church, Bastian applies his years of experience as pastor and church leader to the perennial needs of the postmodern church in any culture. Highly recommended.”

“Rightly recognized for the grace and gifts of pastoral ministry, Donald N. Bastian has provided readers with wisdom, substance, and practical help distilled from decades as a minister of the gospel. Especially helpful for younger pastors, the book will deepen their theology, confirm their vocation, and help them through more than a few difficulties.”
