Aid for Pastors Suffering From Lack of Pastoral Care

 

FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Georgia, Sept. 15, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- When pastors fail, when they're hurting, who do they turn to? Most feel that they can't go to anyone for fear of what may be said in their congregation. They silently suffer because they are afraid of the consequences of telling others what is really going on with them. They don't tell their spouses for fear of what it will do to their family. They don't tell professionals because they feel like they're supposed to rely on God alone.

"Pause For Pastors: Finding Still Waters in the Storm of Ministry" is filled with stories that just might help a pastor and his family smile when they hear the word "church." Stories that just might help a pastor and his family pursue help when the weight they call "church" is too heavy to carry alone. Stories of honesty--told by Maxwell and many others--that offer a little bit of peace in the storms of pastoral life.

This book is medicine. It needs to be in the hands of every pastor.

'Eternal Revolution' Book Calls Christians to View Their Religion as Warfare

GREENVILLE, Mich., Aug. 4, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- To be a Christian is to be at war with the world -- that is the sentiment and challenge made in "The Eternal Revolution: An Exhortation to Modern Christians," a new book by Paul Nowak. The book presents the Christian life as a constant fight for one's own soul and the Kingdom of Heaven in a fallen and spiritually oppressed world. Inspired by both the Scriptural imagery of the Christian faithful as soldiers and warriors and the writings of G.K. Chesterton, "The Eternal Revolution" provides a fresh perspective on spiritual warfare. In a time when people of many world religions are calling for, engaging in, or responding to violence, "The Eternal Revolution" reminds Christians that our battle is not with people, but is primarily an internal and spiritual contest. "Christianity is often portrayed as a faith of kindness, tolerance, and acceptance," said Nowak. "Trying to reconcile such a religion with the Bible can lead to a shallow, empty feeling -- one that Chesterton referred to as a 'miserable truce.' Looking at our faith as an ongoing challenge of who we are and what the world is today against the ideal of the Kingdom of Heaven gives us something to live and fight for every day." "The Eternal Revolution" makes its point quickly and is just 40 pages long. This makes it ideal for even the busiest readers, and makes the book easy to finish reading and easy to share. It concludes with practical steps that the reader can put into action immediately. Nowak is employing an unusual marketing tactic by offering packs of 10 books to the general public at a wholesale discount. This makes using the book affordable and accessible to small groups, churches, and those who want to share the book with others. "The Eternal Revolution," ISBN 978-0984710201, is available from major distributors and book sellers, and as an e-book on Amazon's Kindle store. Additional information, including a book cover image, can be found at eternalrevolution.com/eternal-revolution-book  Paul Nowak is also the author of "The Way of the Christian Samurai," a book that provides spiritual advice for Christians based on the writings of ancient Japanese servant-warriors.
