  Our “writer in residence” has published another book entitled, Pastor C.E.O., What They Didn’t Teach You In Seminary, by Freddy Davis, Pastor, First Baptist Church of Woodville. It is a readable book with honest evaluation, based upon personal experience.

   In chapter 3, “What is Wrong With A traditional Paradigm Of Ministry?” Pastor Davis writes: “For the most part, pastors are expected to be a preacher, teacher, administrator, counselor, spiritual mentor, advisor, and church evangelist… Nothing is wrong with these activities, and most pastors have no problem involving  themselves in any kind of work that is going to help the church move forward. However, most of this is not what the average pastor envisioned when stepping into the profession.

   “These expectations are not biblical expectations for vocational Christian leaders. The expectation of most church members, and therefore the role most pastors end up taking upon themselves, is that the pastor is the MAIN WORKER of the church. This expectation is the exact opposite of what ought to be. Rather than the main worker, the pastor needs to be the MAIN LEADER… ”

   Pastor, read this book and, perhaps, even more importantly, share it with someone else. The book has just been released. Currently you can get the book online at www.pastorceo.com. It will be available at most online bookstores. You may also contact Freddy at his home office 383-9456 or the church office 421-3315.

   I would love to read what you may have written, also. As much as I like to read the works of well known writers, I would like very much to hear from you. Have you written something (it doesn’t need to be a book!)? Would you like to?
