Description
This book is about clergy and their stories-stories you don't often hear from
the pulpit but that yearn to be told and responded to. They will
challenge your stereotypes. The book also explores spirituality
and how meaning is found through authentic two-way
relationships. Without these relationships leaders are prone to
burnout and sexual misconduct. The authors present an
alternative. They show how leaders and congregations can
journey together in a more interactive, integrated and
supportive way.
'At last, an utterly honest book which recognises that the church is in crisis,
and its pastors too . . . The authors' skills as interviewers are abundantly
revealed in the sympathetic rapport they achieve with their subjects. This is an
important book full of fruitful encouragement to take risks for God.'
James Murray, religious affairs editor, The Australian - from Amzon
