Pastor Eddie Thompson reveals his heart to show and remind that our Creator has given special and unique qualities to each of us-qualities granted for a specific purpose in His master plan. This is clearly a message applicable to everyone.

A Pastor's Heart is a well-written collection of poems and journal-style entries with a Scriptural reference for each. Some topics stir study and reflection, others bring smiles, and some are reminiscent of the times we forgo our trust and knowledge of the constancy of God's love to allow temporary circumstances to catapult us into confusion and despair. We're reminded of similarities and differences of individuals, and with the perspective of viewing from a different heart, I now see many things quite differently and with more understanding.

A significant statement from the introduction is "If I try to be Patrick Thompson, Cecil Janway, or Billy Graham, then I will never give the Kingdom of God the best Eddie Thompson I have to offer." Eddie Thompson's style and use of analogies strongly defines his love for the Lord and encourages realization, appreciation and utilization of the unique qualities God has so graciously granted to each of us. Thompson states, "When God calls us to some purpose, or some task, He provides us with the heart for that call.... The Creator fashioned individual hearts within individual creatures for individual purposes."

This is a book I'll read again and again, and highly recommend A Pastor's Heart as enlightening inspiration for everyone.
