About this product

Product Information

Whereas much of the current literature on pastoring stresses up-to-date training and new techniques stemming from the behavioral sciences, Eugene Peterson here calls for returning to an "old" resource--the Bible--as the basis for all of pastoral ministry. Originally published in 1980 and now being reprinted to meet continuing demand, Five Smooth Stones for Pastoral Work shows how five Old Testament books provide a solid foundation for much of what a pastor does: Prayer-Directing: Song of Songs Story-Making: Ruth Pain-Sharing: Lamentations Nay-Saying: Ecclesiastes Community-Building: Esther Pointing to the relevance of ancient wisdom, adapting Jewish religious tradition to contemporary pastoral practice, and affirming a significant link between pastoral work and the act of worship, this book opens up to pastors a wealth of valuable practical-theological insights.

Different
This book is different. It's not your typical instructional book. It'll open your mind to new viewpoints. I highly recommend it! But, I also recommend having a dictionary on hand. I look up a new word about once per page.

just one of many smooth stones to fell pastoral giants
An unusual foray into the last 5 books added to the OT canon, with pastoral applications. While not traditionally thought of as being pastoral and perhaps a theological stretch for some, the practical is still with warrant for ministers here. Peterson is always insightful, poignant, and interesting, able to address current church leadership issues head-on without too much denominational offense. A bit academic at times, yet easily readable for any minister.
