In a manner reminiscent of C. S. Lewis's \u003ci\u003eLetters to Malcolm\u003c\/i\u003e and Reinhold Niebuhr's \u003ci\u003eLeaves from the Notebook of a Tamed Cynic\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Jinkins connects readers with valuable pastoral wisdom gleaned from his years of ministry and from the riches of the Christian past. In these letters Jinkins explores such themes as developing one's own spiritual life, finding balance amid conflicting demands, and rediscovering the meaning of Christ's call for the church's future. Written in a comfortable, personal style, Jinkins's \u003ci\u003eLetters to New Pastors\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal not only for new pastors but also for anyone seeking to better understand the challenges facing those in ministry today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
