With realistic stories about common challenges pastors face, David Hansen offers hope to all who are called to love the church as Christ's bride. He examines the four pastoral loves, exposes common pastoral weaknesses, and gives practical help for pastors to grow in devotion toward their churches. If you are a pastor who is wondering how best to guide your church through a struggle, whether it be a large building project or a small congregational dispute, this book will show you how to lead with grace. Pastoring, after all, isn't just a series of tasks to do with love-it is love. Book jacket.
