9781433549335Zack Eswine is a pastor and author with a style all his own (could we call it “contemplative?”) and a unique experience in the academy and ministry. He is someone worth listening to.

His previous books related to ordinary ministry are:

Eswine’s latest book is The Imperfect Pastor: Discovering Joy in Our Limitations through a Daily Apprenticeship with Jesus.

The Imperfect Pastor

Crossway says,

Pastors aren’t superheroes—they have fears and limitations just like everyone else. Zack Eswine knows this from personal experience and has a wealth of wisdom to offer those who feel like they don’t measure up. Written in a compelling memoir style, The Imperfect Pastor is full of insightful stories and theological truths that show how God works unexpectedly through flawed people. By talking honestly about the failure, burnout, pain, and complexities that come along with church ministry, Eswine helps pastors accept their human limitations and experience the freedom of trusting God’s plan for their church and life.

The Imperfect Pastor lands, Lord willing, September 30th.
