Brian Croft and Ronnie Martin, The Unhurried Pastor (The Good Book Company, 2024), 173 pp.
Pastoral ministry moves at a breakneck pace. Tragically, many pastors begin their ministries in crisis mode and never turn back. The results are usually devastating. Some pastors leave the ministry, discouraged. Others succumb to sin and leave the ministry defeated.
Brian Croft and Ronnie Martin’s book, The Unhurried Pastor is a helpful antidote for busy pastors. The subtitle accurately reflects the intent of the authors: Redefining Productivity for a More Sustainable Ministy. Croft and Martin offer gracious encouragement for men who need to reevaluate and recharge to gain a solid footing in their ministries.
The authors provide practical help and tools for pastors to consider, all of which is grounded in Scripture. A helpful appendix is included that helps pastors evaluate various factors, including communion, contemplation, and commencement. This valuable tool will enable men to honestly assess their ministries and move forward in health and vitality.
Praise the Lord for two men of God who see the struggles that many pastors face. May many be encouraged as they wade into the calm “waters” of this excellent book.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
