Book Review: The Pastor by Eugene Peterson

February 12, 2013February 21, 2013 by Erik Lindeen, posted in Book Review, Christian Life, Ministry

For some reason, it took me about eighteen months to get through The Pastor by Eugene Peterson. It probably had something to do with the fact that in that time frame we moved from Colorado to Wisconsin, helped plant a new church, I finished my M.A. in Theological Studies, and my wife and I had … Continue reading Book Review: The Pastor by Eugene Peterson

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... (Matthew 28:19) I read a great blog by David Santistevan about discipleship. He says: One of my goals for this year is to be more intentional than I've ever been in making disciples.
