The Pastor

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Lathrop connects the dots between the Gospel lived in the Sunday gathering and the vocational and spiritual lives of pastors – and all others in search of a deeper life of faith and action. The spirituality of which this book speaks and the pastoral vocation it redefines are both biblical and Christological symbols, and at the same time profoundly in-fleshed theological realities. The words at the heart of this rich and reorienting book take their life from, and speak to, the very real things we encounter as the people of God gather for its liturgical life.... This is a volume to have, to hold, and to mark, as it is said of all good things.”
