Relationships

Have you ever wondered? Why pastors leave churches so often? Why some pastors fall in the ministry? Why are there so many church splits? How can I be a blessing to my Pastor? Finally, a book that can help. If You Only Knew Me goes deep within the heart of the pastor, his burdens, and blessings. This book deals with some of the turmoil and unrealistic expectations that the church can lay on the shoulders of pastors. Written with the layman in mind, with the goal of strengthening the relationship with the pastor and parishioner, this book is a valuable read to any person seeking to better understand a pastor’s frustrations, vulnerabilities, and life. If You Only Knew Me is also a great benefit to the shepherd, for him to see his own burdens and problems from a different perspective, and thus being encouraged in his loving and shepherding the congregation that God has called him to.
