Is the pastor a performer, manager, entertainer, therapist, or bureaucrat? While modern pastors are often associated with roles like these, Ben Campbell Johnson examines ministry and all its functions from a spiritual perspective and helps pastors see themselves as individuals called by God. With exercises designed to help them reflect on their experiences, he helps ministers recapture the essence of their calling.
