Some "jobs" are more interesting than others, and from time to time we enjoy hearing about someone else's work. As the title suggests, in A Pastor and the People readers are given An Inside Look through Letters on what it's like to be a pastor. During his 44 years of ministry in four churches Pastor Bob Mink saved many of the letters he received and wrote. In A Pastor and the People he shares some of those letters in the three parts of the book: Youth Ministry, Minister of a Small Church, and Pastor of a Large Church. There are quite a few letters that are complimentary and affirming, but as you might imagine, not all the letters received were in that category. He also includes a variety of hurtful ones in a chapter entitled "Troublesome Letters." Readers will also read a number of letters he wrote to individuals as well as public letters he wrote to his church. You will gain insight into things that people liked and appreciated about their pastor as well as some things they did not like. You will also get a look into a pastor's heart for his people. Pastors, those considering being a pastor, church leaders, church members, and even those who simply want to know what being a pastor involves will enjoy this behind the scenes tour of the work of a pastor.
