LONGWOOD, FL-Through compelling anecdotes and profound observations, The Perfect Pastor? ($21.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-656-6) by D. Thomas Owsley, D.Min., will improve relationships between church members and their pastors and drive both groups to a greater proximity to God's purposes. This engaging new book focuses on the realistic, humorous, and poignant life experiences of a fictional pastor. More than just a wonderful story, the book is a tool to equip laypeople with the insights needed to relate to and support their pastor, and to provide pastors with a solid understanding of how to address the various expectations of church members.
Says Owsley, "The Perfect Pastor? is unique for two reasons: it teaches biblical insights through a realistic, humorous, and poignant story, and there is no other contemporary book that seeks to illuminate and improve the relationship between pastors and church members."
Drawing upon four decades of church experience as both a member and pastor, the author taps into the wisdom he gleaned from each role to reveal what the Bible illuminates as a healthy, balanced relationship between pastor and church members.
D. Thomas Owsley, D.Min., received his M.Div. from Westminster Seminary California, and his D.Min. from Geneva Theological Seminary. He currently serves as senior pastor at Cornerstone Community Church.
