Carson Book



I recently finished this book and it is a must read for any pastor. D.A. Carson writes about his father, who ministered for many years in Quebec. Tom Carson was an ordinary pastor. He ministered in a difficult place with sometimes only minimal "results." He often questioned himself and his faithfulness to God. We've all been there!

This book would be required reading if I were teaching a pastoral ministry course. Its primary contribution is that success in ministry cannot be determined by budgets, numbers, etc. It is determined only by faithfulness!!
