I'm a young pastor who enjoys teaching and writing. I read everything I get my hands on. Right now, I'm getting ready to take my first senior pastorate, and I can't help but desire to connect more. I believe I have great ideas, come up with creative pictures, and have an important message to deliver. But I feel that while I spend a lot of energy preparing and delivering, I'm not sure the message is reaching the audience. I need to connect, otherwise we're all wasting a lot of time. I look at the books I read as mentoring from those I may never meet face to face who have a lot to impart. I'll take every thought seriously and work to incorporate them into my ministry. I also have a blog that I manage for book reviews and would be glad to post a review.
