Pastor Served Al Dente: A Layman's Search for the Perfect Pastor

When Edgar Stubbersfield was a much younger man, he spoke with one of his state's leading evangelists.

The evangelist shocked Edgar that night when he said, "e;It is the easiest thing in the world to start a new church; the hardest thing is finding it a good pastor."e; Edgar is now certain that the evangelist overstated the simplicity of starting a church but, in his advancing age, Edgar feared at times that he understated the difficulty in getting it a good pastor.

Yet, difficult as it may be, it is not impossible. The quest for the perfect pastor will be fruitless.

But a good pastor? That is an entirely different matter; they do exist but may well be a threatened species.

This book is intended to set a very high yet, with God's help, still achievable bar for anyone considering Christian ministry.

However, while it is a gentle reminder to the church about what a pastor should be, this book is also a gentle reminder to the pastor of what a member should be like!
