An armchair conversation with a seasoned pastor.

[Nathan Webb · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was very practical with extremely common issues and questions for pastors. The style is similar to H.B. Charles Jr.’s book “On Pastoring”, with a few dozen short chapters on different questions. It was like sitting with a seasoned pastor and learning great wisdom without being dry and lengthy.

Dr. York is a friend to pastors and that shines through on every page of this easy ready. Imminently practical and solidly biblical, this book is jam-packed with wisdom for pastors who want to finish well.

[Andrew Dionne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Concise and biblical. His take on elder led v. single pastor led is compelling and demonstrates how the Scripture gives us a "sandbox" of Orthodox Church polity to work in.
