Second Thoughts: 100 Things Small Church Pastors Need To Reconsider

by Dave Jacobs

I was a pastor for thirty years before I retired and began coaching pastors. I’m now into my twelfth year of working with ministers and church leaders. The older I get, and the longer I do what I do, the more I find myself having second thoughts about how we do church. And not just church, but how pastors think. It’s not that I am worried that we’ve got it all wrong, but maybe there is another way to look at things. Maybe it would be helpful for us to reconsider things. Maybe the way we run our churches made sense at one time, but now there might be a more effective way to do it. Maybe there are things that fill our minds as pastors of smaller churches that aren’t doing us any good. We need to rethink, reconsider, challenge our approach to ministry and our role as a pastor.

This is a book for small church pastors. It echoes a lot of what Karl Vaters has written. There is a lot of sage wisdom and practical advice therein. Don't read if you are a large church pastor. You either won't get it or you will be jealous of the issues small church pastors deal with :-)

My only issue is the typos contained. I wish pastors who write would hire me to proofread.
