O Shepherd, Where Art Thou?

In this profound, hilariously humbling novel, Miller introduces fairway-weather Sam, a misguided minister who is free to hit the golf course more often now that he’s read and mastered the megachurch manifesto, Physician, Heal Thyself: How to Kiss Pastoral Care Good-bye Forever. Sam has learned how to rely on church committees to “zone” himself out of tending to the sick and needy. In satirizing today’s big-box professionalizing of ministry, Miller clearly demonstrates that no matter how large or complex a church might become, a shepherd’s top priority is always to keep close watch over his flock.
