This is especially true in ministry. It is a need that is not simply rooted in enjoyment and companionship, but in the necessity to care well of one's soul and survive a long-term ministry. This book seeks to persuade every modern pastor of the essential need of friendship. And not just any friendship, but a close, personal, intimate, and sacrificial pastor-to-pastor friendship that regularly turns each other's gaze to Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFriends and pastors, Michael Haykin, Brian Croft and James Carroll examine portraits of friendship in scripture and church history, before exhorting readers to modern pastoral friendships. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword by Austin Walker\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 1: Looking Back\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
