A MUST READ!!

Craig Groeschel will forever be one of my heroes. He pastors a large church and is as humble of a man as ever. I eat everything he puts out up! His book "It" was excellent; i am nearly complete with "Chazown"; and i read "Confessions of a Pastor" in one Sitting!!!

This book, "Confessions of a pastor", takes us, the reader, through 10 major issues Groeschel has battled with in the history of being a pastor. Issues like staying sexually pure, feeling like a failure, feeling inadequate, struggles with prayer and staying in tune with God, and loneliness. He gives practical steps as to how we win the battles we face in everyday ministry and life. This is not a book of "sob stories" but one of victory, encouragement, and growth. There is never a dull moment! "Confessions of a Pastor" is an excellent read for anyone, but I would Highly recommend it to young leaders. Groeschel's focus and authenticity is both comforting and encouraging. As i said before, i read through it in one sitting! He is funny (typical Groeschel), honest, sensitive, blunt, and always insightful. His advice is right on! After reading it, i find myself encouraged to know that one of the great pastor's of my generation, a man i look up to and admire as a man of God, has struggled and continues to struggle with the same things as me. This is my guarantee: you will walk away built up and energized after you read this. It has Sean's stamp of approval.
