Publisher's Description
Some of today's pastors are relatively untroubled but need help in releasing the pressure inherent in ministry to others. Others are close to running on empty, both spiritually and emotionally. All of them would like someone to confide in who can provide realistic help based on firsthand experience. This is precisely what Pastors at Greater Risk is all about! First published in 1993, this edition is completely rewritten, with updated stats, interviews with contemporary pastoral leaders, and a special emphasis on today's hot-button issues, such as job turnover, pornography, spiritual burnout, congregational turnover, and more. The result: A book that is rich in wisdom and understanding and one that provides pastor-to-pastor help at a time when it is needed more than ever!

“The ferocity of the spiritual battle and the intensity of the times are blurring the vision and sapping the spirit of good and godly church leaders. If unaddressed with the wisdom of the Word and the power of the Spirit, the battle will increase the number of casualties already tallied. But there’s hope and honest guidance here. Read and be strengthened, fellow-shepherd.”
“Drs. H. B. London and Neil Wiseman have done both pastors and churches a great service by revising and updating their classic work. The book is right on target. Never before in my entire ministry have I ever seen the devil as alive and well in the work of men of God as I have today. Pastors are at risk—and they have too much to risk to lose. This book will help every pastor to build a hedge of protection around his life and enable every church to know how to better pray for their pastor. I endorse it enthusiastically.”
Dr. James Merrit
“Pastors at Greater Risk is a must-read for all pastors and the congregations who support them. London and Wiseman share the gut-wrenching reality of the pastor’s world. This is one of the most comprehensive books offering biblical and practical steps in overcoming many of the pitfalls of ministry. Rather than becoming a statistic, you, your family and your congregation can be a light for Jesus Christ in your community.”
