Letters to a Young Pastor
Ebook
Much has changed over Calvin Miller’s decades of pastoral ministry, but he believes two things remain the same: God is love and people are broken. Now God is calling young pastors to stand in that gap. And in this honest, warm and humorous series of letters, Miller shares his wisdom and experience so you can flourish in your future ministry—without ever wanting to resign on Monday.

“The United States now ranks third following China and India in the number of people who are not professing Christians; in other words, Americans are becoming an ever-increasing ‘unreached people group.’ Half of all churches in the United States did not add any new members in the last two years.” (source)
“The number one thing I did right was to instill throughout our church a vital, personal evangelism program.” (source)
“Vision is seeing down the road ahead, the road called ‘what God has given me to do.’ Image is how you want the world to see you.” (source)
“Third, inform all the parish that you are a person in progress.” (source)
