I Am Not the Christ: Pastoral Identity in View of the Cross

by McKay Caston

Birthed from a combination of deep theological reflection and twenty-six years of pastoral experience as an assistant pastor, lead pastor, and church planter who served in cities, suburbs, a farming community, and a small college town, I am Not the Christ is full of practical application that aims to give pastors renewed joy in their calling as ambassadors of grace by helping them tether all of life and ministry to the cross of the risen and reigning Jesus.

"Wise, candid, and eminently readable. There is guidance here for every pastor."- Dr. Dan Doriani, Professor of Biblical Theology at Covenant Seminary and Founder, Center of Faith and Work"In this wonderful volume, McKay Caston has done something very similar to what John Newton did for his fellow ministers. I pray that McKay's good and faithful work will have a similar impact on you and countless others."- Rev. Scott Sauls, Senior Pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville and author of several books, including Jesus Outside the Lines and Beautiful People Don't Just Happen

"The journey McKay describes with much personal reflection will renew the hearts of pastors and bless those whose Savior is the only Christ."- Dr. Bryan Chapell, President Emeritus at Covenant Theological Seminary, Stated Clerk for the Presbyterian Church in America, and author of Christ-Centered Preaching

A great quick read for anyone in full time ministry!

Helpful book for pastors with thoughtful tips and reminders. Nothing exceptionally new or groundbreaking but there probably shouldn’t be. It was rooted in scripture and a good reminder.
At the end of every chapter I actually said aloud “I am not the Christ.”
