Smitten Shepherds

 

18,000 pastors are leaving the ministry each year.  That is 1,500 every single month.  What is behind this exodus from the ministry?  Why are so many pastors burned out, emotionally fatigued, physically exhausted, and spiritually discouraged?  "Smitten Shepherds" is an 80 page book that is dedicated to pastors.  It is to the point, straight from the heart and forged from our 30 plus years of pastoring.  It is a book written, not to discourage, but to encourage.  Pastors and their wives who have read this book are calling and writing to say they have been given extra strength for their race after reading "Smitten Shepherds".  One evangelist ordered 100 to encourage pastors.  Pastoring today is harder than it was yesterday.  It will be harder tomorrow than it is today.  Will you be one of the 18,000 who walk away from the church, or will you be one who continues to fight the fight, keep the faith and finish your course?  122 pages may make the difference.
