Today s pastors often expected to be multitasking marvels who can
make their churches "successful" are understandably confused about
their role. Craig Barnes contends that the true calling of a pastor
is to assist others in becoming fully alive in Christ to be a
"minor poet." The pastor absorbs the wisdom of major poets the
biblical poets as well as the church s theological poets and
distills its essence for parishioners. / The Pastor as Minor Poet
calls pastors to continually search for a deeper, truer
understanding of what they see both in the text of Scripture and in
the text of their parishioners' lives. Discerning the subtexts
beneath these texts reveals the core truths that allow pastors to
preach the heart of the Word and to understand the hearts of the
people to whom they minister. Written with a seasoned pastor s
depth of understanding and a poet's sensibility and sensitivity,
this book will minister to and inspire pastors everywhere.
