Summary

“If anyone knows how to be a pastor in the contemporary context that person is Eugene Peterson. Eugene possesses the rare combination of a pastor’s heart and a pastor’s art. Take and read!” (Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline)

“I’ve been nagging Eugene Peterson for years to write a memoir. In our clamorous, celebrity-driven, entertainment culture, his life and words convey a quiet whisper of sanity, authenticity, and, yes, holiness.” (Philip Yancey, author of What Good is God)

“A good book for folks who like pastors. And a good book for folks who don’t. The Pastor is the disarming tale of one of the unlikely suspects who has helped shape North American Christianity.” (Shane Claiborne author of The Irresistible Revolution)

What is a pastor

This was encouraging to all, insightful about what a pastor is, intelligent, easy to listen to and probably helpful to all who know a pastor or want to be one

Encouragement to be “just a pastor”!

This is a good quality audio book version of Eugene Peterson’s Memoir. Starting out in ministry this book offers guidance to stay with vocation and God at the expense of strategies and job- a common temptation clergy fall into when the role seems arid.
I would encourage new clergy and even those who read Eugene in the past to visit and revisit this conversation with him during your own ministry.
